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.

2.4Rear Panel Connections

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

Main Monitor (BNC/ VGA)

BNC and VGA output connectors are offered for connecting to a main monitor. The main monitor displays live image and playback recorded video in either full-screen or split-window format.

Call Monitor

The call monitor is used to display full screen video of all installed cameras in sequence. The BNC call monitor connector allows users to connect the DVR with an optional call monitor.

Video In

A group of BNC connectors is offered for video input streams from installed cameras. The number of connectors is equal to the number of channels.
