Operation Instruction

Audio In/Out

Your DVR can record audio from up to four sources. Connect the audio sources to Audio In 1, Audio In 2, Audio In 3 and Audio In 4 as needed using RCA jacks. Connect Audio Out to your amplifier.

NOTE: It is the user’s responsibility to determine if local laws and regulations permit recording audio.

NOTE: The DVR does not have amplified audio output, so you will need a speaker with an amplifier. The DVR does not have a pre-amplifier for audio input, so the audio input should be from an amplified source, not directly from a microphone.

Factory Reset Switch

The DVR has a Factory Reset switch to the left of the VGA port on the rear panel. This switch will only be used on the rare occasions that you want to return all the settings to the original factory settings.

CAUTION: When using the Factory Reset, you will lose any settings you have saved.

To reset the unit, you will need a straightened paperclip:

1.Turn the DVR off.

2.Poke the straightened paperclip into the unlabeled hole to the left of the VGA port, and turn the DVR on.

3.Hold the reset switch until the DVR turns on and live monitoring screen appears.

4.Release the reset switch. All of the DVR’s settings are now at the original settings it had when it left the factory.

Video Out

Connect the main monitor to the Video Out connector.

A VGA connector is provided so that you can use a standard, multi-sync computer monitor as your main monitor. Use the cable supplied with your monitor to connect it to the DVR.

NOTE: The Video Out (BNC) and VGA connectors may be connected to individual monitors for simultaneous operation.

Network Port

The DVR can be networked using the 10/100Mb Ethernet connector. Connect a Cat5 cable with an RJ-45 jack to the DVR connector. The DVR can be networked with a computer for remote monitoring, searching, configuration and software upgrades. See Chapter 3 ─ Configuration for configuring the Ethernet connections.

CAUTION: The network connector is not designed to be connected directly with cable or wire intended for outdoor use.
