Ř
This NVR does not feature a built-in audio amplifier
unit and therefore requires the user to purchase a
speaker system with a built-in amplifier separately.
It's possible to connect an amplified audio source
to the NVR, but microphones that do not have
a built-in amplifier will not function properly if
connected to the NVR directly. If this is the case,
connect the microphone to the NVR via a pre-
amp.

Check your local laws and regulations on making
audio recordings.

Connect network cameras to the NVR using RJ-45
cable (Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6). In addition to cameras,
you can connect external hubs (Optional: SmartIP-
SW2112PF, SmartIP-SW2128PF) to form a network.
The NVR recognizes DirectIP™ network cameras
automatically. Ports A through H support PoE.

We recommend that you use the Ext. port for
connecting to an external hub and using features
such as camera alignment.
