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.
