What you need
Although each security system installation is different, most require the following items not included with your system components:
•
Cameras and cables compatible with the DVR. The Video in ports on the back panel support most analog CCTV camera brands and Alibi
HD-TVI, AHD, analog or IP cameras
•
IP cameras installed on the Ethernet network (LAN) that associated with the DVR must be Alibi IP cameras.
•
Tools to install the cameras and route power and video cables
•
Fasteners to attach the cameras to the mounting surfaces, calking
•
VGA or HDMI compatible computer monitor to connect to the DVR. (An HDMI cable is provided.)
•
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended. This device is used to ensure system stability during voltage surges, sags, and
outages. If a UPS is not available, a power strip with strong surge protection is highly recommended.
Step 2. Install the DVR
For the following steps, refer to the back panel photo above for the location of connectors.
1.
Place the DVR in a location that is secure, well ventilated and clean. The DVR should be positioned such that the back panel connectors
are accessible and the ventilation holes on the sides are not blocked.
2.
Connect the ground terminal on the back of the DVR to an earth ground. Refer to local codes for proper grounding.
Step 3. Connect alarm devices to the DVR
Wiring alarm inputs to the DVR
You can wire up to 8 alarm inputs to the DVR. Alarm input wiring connects to the RS-485, Alarm IN / OUT connector blocks on the back of the
DVR.

Typical ALARM IN wiring
Wiring alarm outputs to the DVR
The DVR provides 4 alarm output terminations. These terminations for each output are on the ALARM OUT connector block on the back of the
DVR , and are labeled 1 - G, 2 - G, 3 - G, 4 - G (G = ground termination).
There are 4 jumpers (JP1, JP2, JP3, and JP4) inside the chassis on the alarm termination PC board, associated with ALARM OUT pins 1, 2, 3
and 4 respectively. Initially, these jumpers are in place. If connecting an alarm output to a DC loaded alarm out circuit, the jumper must be in
place. If connecting the alarm output to an AC loaded alarm, the corresponding jumper must be removed. Example: If you connect an AC load
to the alarm output 3 of the DVR, then you must remove the JP 3.
