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
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.

You can use external devices to signal the DVR to react to events. Mechanical or
electrical switches can be wired to the AI (Alarm-In) and GND (Ground) connectors.
The threshold voltage is 4.3V and should be stable at least 0.5 seconds to be detected.
