AHD DVR Series is compatible with both AHD cameras and standard analog cameras.
If the installation is mixed so it includes both AHD and standard analog cameras, the cameras have to be connected to
the DVR's inputs according to the following "input pair" rule:
If a given technology (AHD or standard analog) camera is connected to any of the odd DVR video inputs (ex.
CH1, CH3, CH5...) then the very next DVR video input (respectively CH2, CH4, CH6...) will only support a
camera based on the same video standard.
In the same way, if a given technology (AHD or standard analog) camera is connected to any of the even DVR
video inputs (ex. CH2, CH4, CH6...) then the very previous DVR video input (respectively CH1, CH3, CH5...)
will only support a camera based on the same video standard.
Example:
If an AHD camera is connected to the DVR's CH1 video input, then the DVR's CH2 video input will only support
another AHD camera.
If a standard analog camera is connected to the DVR's CH3 video input, then the DVR's CH4 video input will
only support another standard analog camera.
For a quick startup of the device, follow the procedure below:
Connect the desired analog/AHD cameras to BNC input channels.
Connect the mouse to the USB port.
Connect the HDMI/ VGA output to the respective HDMI/ VGA monitor to the respective monitor in order to display
the analog/AHD cameras previously connected.
Connect the network cable to LAN port, if needed.
Power the device on, inserting the power supply connector into the plug and set the switch to position 1 (if
requested).
NOTE
1. To distinguish AHD from standard analog channels in the DVR's Live Preview grid, the string "A-CH.." is
displayed on each AHD channel's Live video.
2. If Camera is connected to AHD DVR in 960H Mode (i.e. COMET set to OFF) and then the Camera is
switched in COMET Mode (i.e COMET set to ON), it will be displayed in B/W mode. It is needed to reboot
the DVR in order to restore the color mode.
3. If Camera is connected to AHD DVR in COMET Mode (i.e. COMET set to ON) and then the Camera is
switched in 960H Mode (i.e. COMET set to OFF), it will be displayed in B/W mode. It is needed to reboot
the DVR in order to restore the color mode.
