2.3Connect Devices to the DVR

This section lists some important notices that should be read before making any connection to the DVR.

Connecting Required Devices

Before power up the unit, cameras and a monitor should be connected to the unit for basic operation. If needed, connect a call monitor for displaying full screen video of all installed cameras in sequence.

Connecting Short-term Device

If any short-term devices shall be installed to the DVR as parts of the unit system, such as USB ThumbDrive® or any USB devices, etc, make sure those devices are connected only after the unit is powered up. The reason is because the DVR can recognize the external devices only after the power-up process is done completely.

There are various connectors on the rear panel for the DVR installations. The following shows the detailed description of each connector.
