Video Loop Through
If you would like to connect your video source to another device, you can use the
Loop
BNC connectors.
NOTE:
The Loop BNC connectors are auto terminated. Do NOT connect a cable to the Loop BNC unless it
is connected to a terminated device because it will cause poor quality video.
Audio In/Out
NOTE: It is the user’s responsibility to determine if local laws and regulations permit recording audio.
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.
Your DVR can record audio from up to four sources. If supported, 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.
