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
