3.3 – CONNECTING POWER
The 9108UV package includes a 12V/3A DC power supply.
When connecting the DVR and cameras to a power source, please only use the
power adapters or power boxes supplied by Zmodo.
Please do not cut, splice, or otherwise modify the electrical wires on any of the
Zmodo cameras, DVRs, or power supplies. Doing so will prevent us from
providing further technical support and will void the equipment warranty.

The 9108UV supports connecting external alarm sensors to the RS485 interface
on the rear panel of the DVR.
The purpose of external alarm sensors is to activate recording on a given channel
when the sensor is activated or a condition is met, such as a door opening.
To configure the external alarm settings, please refer to Section 10.2.
For complete instructions regarding connecting external alarm sensors, please
visit http://zmodo.net or contact Technical Support.

VGA Monitor (sold separately)
VGA cable (usually included with monitor)
Step 1: Power off DVR and monitor.
Step 2: Locate VGA port on rear panel of DVR. See Figure 3-7.
Step 3: Connect VGA cable from monitor to VGA port on rear panel of DVR.
Step 4: Power on monitor.
Step 6: Power on DVR. Wait until system is fully initialized.

an adapter is used (sold separately by retail electronics stores).
· We do not advise changing the DVR's VGA monitor resolution. This could
render the DVR display unviewable. If that situation occurs, please see Section
14.3.1
1. Power off or unplug the DVR.
2. Connect mouse.
3. Power on or plug in the DVR.
No other configuration is necessary.
Troubleshooting Tips
Issues
· There is no mouse pointer
· There is a pointer, but it does not move.
· The mouse stops working.
Suggestions
1. Follow steps one through three above.
2. Try a different mouse.
3. Test the malfunctioning mouse by connecting it to a computer.
3.6 – Connecting a USB Mouse
The mouse USB port is on the rear panel of the DVR. It is the top port, labeled
with a mouse icon.
4 - STARTING UP YOUR DVR
4.1 – SYSTEM INITIALIZATION
3.5– Connecting a USB Backup Device
Two types of USB devices that can be connected to the DVR for backing up
recording files are either a portable flash drive (thumb drive) or an external hard
drive.
The DVR runs on a Linux platform, so the drive must be formatted for the DVR to
recognize it and a Windows PC to read the files. While Linux can theoretically
read NTFS, FAT32 is a preferable option.
If the flash drive or external HDD is formatted properly, simply plug the device into
the USB port on the DVR.
The front panel USB port for backup is identified with the universal USB symbol
( )
While you can either format the drive as FAT32 first from a Windows PC, you may
also format the drive using the USB format command in the HDD Management
console.
Important Note: Formatting the drive will erase all contents currently stored on it.
