The video input port is BNC connector plug. The demand of input signal is PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0VP-P,75Ω).
The video signal must be accorded with the state standard which has the high signal to noise ratio, low
aberration and low interference. The image must be clear and has natural color in the appropriate brightness.
The camera should be installed in the appropriate location where is away from backlighting and low
The ground and power supply of the camera and the DVR should be shared and stable.
The video transmission line should adopt high quality coaxial pair which is chosen by the transmission
distance. If the transmission distance is too far, it should adopt shielded twisted pair, video compensation
The video signal line should be away from the electro magnetic Interference and other equipments signal
The signal and shield lines should be firm and connected credible which avoid false and joint welding and
oxidation.
The video output is divided into PAL/NTSC BNC(1.0VP-P,75Ω) and VGA output(selective configuration).
When replace the monitor by the computer display, there are some issues to notice.
TV is not a credible replacement as a video output. It demands reducing the use time and control the power
supply and the interference introduced by the nearby equipments strictly. The creepage of low quality TV can lead

Commonly the output parameter of DVR audio signal is greater than 200mv 1KΩ(BNC) which can connect
the low impedance earphone and active sound box or other audio output equipments through power amplifier.
If the sound box and the tone arm can not be isolated, howling phenomena is often existed. There are some
2、 Adjust the sound box volume to be under the threshold that produces the howling phenomena.
3、 Use fitment materials that absorb the sound to reduce reflection of the sound.

Alarm output can not be connected with high-power load(no more than 1A).When forming the output loop it
must prevent the big current from relay damage. Use the contact isolator when there is a high-power load
A. The grounding of the PTZ decoder and DVR must be shared otherwise the common-mode voltage will
lead to the PTZ control failure. The shielded twisted pair is recommended.
B. Avoid the entrance of high voltage. Make the layout reasonably. Take precaution from the thunder.
C. In the outlying end connect 120Ω resistance paralleled to reduce the inflection and insure the signal

The DVR introduces the H.264 compression technology. Its dynamic range is very large so the
hard disk capability calculation is based on the estimation values of each channel creating files in
an hour.

For one piece 500G HDD,real time CIF for recording,it will keep recording for about 25 days.HDD
spaces per channel is 200M/H,if 4channels real time CIF at 24hours recording uninterrupted,it can
