Connect the audio device to the
AUDIO IN
port and
speakers with a built-in amplifier to the
AUDIO OUT
port. Use the
AUDIO OUT
port to listen to audio from
network cameras.
Use the
AUDIO IN
port to establish two-way
communication with cameras.
•
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: DH-2112PF,
DH-2128PF) to form a network. The NVR recognizes
DirectIP™ network cameras automatically.
•
For the external hub, we recommend using
an H port to enable functions such as camera
alignment.

The orange LED on the left flashes if the
connected network is 10/100 BASE-T. The green
LED on the right flashes if the connected network
is 1000 BASE-T.

This NVR is capable of connecting to networks via
an ethernet connector. Connect an RJ-45 cable
(Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat6) to the NVR's network port. It's
possible to operate and upgrade the NVR remotely
over a network. Fore more information on ethernet
connection setup, refer to
Network Setup on page 57.
The orange LED on the left flashes if the connected
network is 10/100 BASE-T. The green LED on
