Layout of the Rear Panel
1) CH1 ~ CH8 (Video Inputs): These
are the eight camera inputs, labelled as
per their channel in the DVR’s interface.
Thus, plug the camera you want to be
associated with Channel 1 into the port
marked CH1 and so on.
2) Video Outputs: This sends a
composite video signal out of the DVR.
Each of the two ports can be connected
to separate monitors. The output
marked MAIN will show the main
DVR interface (all channels accessible
plus menus, unless you’ve configured
the DVR to use the VGA as the main
output).
3) Audio Inputs (CH1 ~ CH4): Four
labelled audio inputs. These will accept
standard line-level signals (<1V) and
can be assigned to channels later.
4) Audio Output: Two mono audio
output channels. These output a
standard ‘line-level’ signal, and can
easily be connected to the audio inputs
on a television or stand-alone audio
device.
5) VGA Output: For connection to a
VGA monitor. This will display the same
image as the MAIN video output at a
selectable resolution between 800 x
600, to a maximum of 1440 x 900.
6 Above) USB Mouse Port: For
connecting the included USB mouse
(other standard USB mice will also
work). This port will not accept a USB
flash drive – this port will work with a
mouse only.
6 Below) USB Backup Port: For
connecting a USB flash drive for the
purposes of backing up footage.
7) RS485 Connections: This is the serial
communication port, used primarily to
connect PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom) devices.
8) Power Connection: For supplying
power to the DVR. Use only the supplied
power adaptor, and do NOT change or
modify it in any way. Modifications to
your power supply radically increases
the risk of electrocution or fire, and will
immediately void your warranty.
9) LAN Port: To connect an Ethernet
cable, allowing the DVR to be connected
to a local area network. This network,
in turn, can be used to give the DVR a
connection to the Internet.
