Peripheral Connections 

Connecting to Alarm Input / Output Device 

 

The alarm input/output interface of the DVR is shown below: 

 

 

The alarm input is an open/close relay. If the input is not an 

open/closed relay, follow the connection diagram below: 

 

 

To connect to an AC/DC load, use the following diagram: 

 

 

For DC load, JP4 can be used within the limit of 12V/1A 

safely. If the interface is connected to an AC load, JP4 should 

be left open. Use an external relay for safety (as shown in the 

figure above). 

 

There are 4 jumpers (JP4, JP5, JP6, and JP7) on the 

motherboard, each corresponding with one alarm output. By 

default, jumpers are connected. To connect an AC load, 

jumpers should be removed. 

 

Note:

 

An external relay is needed to prevent electric shock 

when connecting to an AC load.
