Typical Connection Diagram

CD NOTE

The following figure is for reference only. The actual product shall govern.

Figure 4-2

Figure 4-3

• 1. Connecting to Video and Audio Input and Output
     1. Video Input

The video input interface is BNC. The input video format includes: PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0VP-P, 75Q.).

The video signal should comply with your national standards.

The input video signal shall have high SNR, low distortion; low interference, natural color and suitable lightness.

Guarantee the stability and reliability of the camera signal

The camera shall be installed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, inflammable, explosive substances and etc.

The camera and the DVR (WITHOUT HDD) should have the same grounding to ensure the normal operation of the camera.

Guarantee stability and reliability of the transmission line

Please use high quality, sound shielded BNC. Please select suitable BNC model according to the transmission distance.

If the distance is too long, you should use twisted pair cable, and you can add video compensation devices or use optical fiber to ensure video quality.

You should keep the video signal away from the strong electromagnetic interference, especially the high-tension current.

Keep connection lugs in well contact

The signal line and shielded wire should be fixed firmly and in well connection. Avoid dry joint, lap welding and oxidation.

• • 1. Video Output

Video output includes a BNC (PAL/NTSC1.0Vp-p, 75Q) output, a VGA output and HDMI output. System supports BNC, VGA and HDMI output at the same time.

When you are using pc-type monitor to replace the monitor, please pay attention to the following points:

• To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time.
• Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain proper status.
• Keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference devices.

Using TV as video output device is not a reliable substitution method. You also need to reduce the working hour and control the interference from power supply and other devices. The low- quality TV may result in device damage.

• • 1. Audio Input

These series Product audio input port adopt BNC port.

Due to high impedance of audio input, please use active sound pick-up.

Audio transmission is like video transmission. Try to avoid interference, dry joint, loose contact and it shall be away from high tension current.

• • 1. Audio Output

The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200mv 1KQ (BNC or RCA). It can directly connect to low impedance earphone, active sound box or amplifier-drive audio output device. If the sound box and the pick-up cannot be separated spatially, it is easy to arouse squeaking. In this case you can adopt the following measures:

• Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.
• Reduce the volume of the sound box.
• Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and improve acoustics environment.
• Adjust the layout to reduce happening of the squeaking.
  1. Connecting to Alarm Input and Output

Please read the followings before connecting.

Alarm input

• Please make sure alarm input mode is grounding alarm input.
• Grounding signal is needed for alarm input.
• Alarm input needs the low-level voltage signal.
• Alarm input mode can be either NC (normal Open) or NO (Normal Close)
• When you are connecting two DVR (WITHOUT HDD)s or you are connecting one DVR

(WITHOUT HDD) and one other device, please use a relay to separate them.

Alarm output

The alarm output port should not be connected to high power load directly (It shall be less than 1A) to avoid high current which may result in relay damage. Please use the contactor to realize the connection between the alarm output port and the load.

How to connect PTZ decoder

• Ensure the decoder has the same grounding with DVR (WITHOUT HDD), otherwise you may not control the PTZ. Shielded twisted wire is recommended and the shielded layer is used to connect to the grounding.
• Avoid high voltage. Ensure proper wiring and some thunder protection measures.
• For too long signal wires, 120Q should be parallel connected between A, B lines on the far end to reduce reflection and guarantee the signal quality.
• “485 A, B” of DVR (WITHOUT HDD) cannot parallel connect with “485 port” of another

device.

• The voltage between of A, B lines of the decoder should be less than 5V.

Please make sure the front-end device has soundly earthed

Improper grounding may result in chip damage.
