Figure 6 — VGA connector
A VGA connector is provided so that you can use a standard, multi-sync computer monitor as your main
monitor. Use the cable supplied with your monitor to connect it to the DVR.
NOTE: The
Video Out
(BNC)/
SVHS Out, SPOT Out
and
VGA
connectors may be connected to
individual monitors for simultaneous operation.
Connecting Audio
NOTE: It is the user’s responsibility to determine if local laws and regulations permit recording audio.
Figure 7 — Audio In and Out connectors.
Your DVR can record audio from up to 16 sources. Connect the audio sources to
Audio In 1
to
Audio In
16
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.
Connecting Alarms
NOTE: To make connections on the Alarm Connector Strip, press and hold the button and insert
the wire in the hole below the button. After releasing the button, tug gently on the wire to make
certain it is connected. To disconnect a wire, press and hold the button above the wire and pull
out the wire.

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 maximum voltage should not exceed
5V. See
Chapter 3 — Configuration
for configuring alarm input.
