2) FAQ: How do I connect the L154P-81 to a monitor?
There are many types of monitors. Setup instructions for two different types of monitors are
described:
• Connect a slave monitor
• Connect a quad monitor (used as a slave monitor)
Example 1: Connect a slave monitor (typical connection)
A slave monitor displays video output and on screen display (OSD) from the DVR.
(1) Four camera video outputs connect to the four video inputs of the DVR in a typical
connection.
(2) The DVR video output connects to video input of the monitor.
The L154-81
P includes 2 RCA cables and 4 BNC to RCA adapters. This cable/adapter combination
will allow this DVR to connect to most slave monitors without having to purchase additional cables or
adapters.

Example 2: Connect a quad monitor (used as a slave monitor)
A quad monitor supports four camera connections. The screen can display 4 cameras
simultaneously or one camera at a time.
The L154
P-81 is a four channel DVR that records four channels of video. It also performs the function
of a quad monitor.
If you already have a quad monitor with cameras connected to it, this is the best solution for
connecting your DVR:
1) Connect your camera video output to the video input of the DVR.
2) Then connect your video output from the DVR to the video input of the quad monitor.
Under this setup the quad monitor simply acts as a slave monitor and the on screen display of the
DVR will appear on the monitor.
