2.2 CONNECTIONS
As part of its compact design, the connection ports on this DVR are concentrated on a panel
on the back of the device located above the stand. These ports allow you to connect the
mouse, cameras and network cable along with additional input and output components such
as alarms, pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, additional monitors and so on.
The connection, configuration and operation of PTZ cameras will be covered in Chapter
6 PTZ Cameras while the connection and configuration of alarms – both incoming and
outgoing – will be covered in Chapter 7.
Power
The DVR’s power supply plugs into the socket marked DC 19V next to power switch (
Item
number 2 in Picture 2-2 ). It is absolutely essential that you only use the power supply that
came with the DVR to ensure proper operation and to avoid damage.
We also recommend that you use an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) so that the system will
continue to operate in the event of a power loss. In addition, you should connect the DVR into
a UL-1449 rated surge protector. It should have a joule rating of at least 400, a response time
of 10 nanoseconds or less and a clamping voltage of no more than 330 volts.
