DVR user manual version V1.3 (March 2008) page 3
USAGE
The DVR has the following connections and indicators:
Power – the DVR has an alkaline manganese PP3 battery, which can be changed
by the user. A mains adaptor is also supplied for situations where more than one
hour of recording is required
SMA external antenna socket – to receive the wireless camera video/audio signal
Video output – phono connector in AV format
Audio output – jack socket
SD card slot
Three position slider switch – see below
LED indicator – see below
Infra Red receiver – to allow control by the supplied remote
Slide switch
OFF – system not in use
MONITOR – system setup and playback via external video monitor
ARM/ACTIVE – ready to be triggered (and thus ready to record)
MONITOR
In this mode, the LED flashes GREEN every second. Using the handheld remote, the
recorder can be setup and recordings can be played back via the AV sockets, on a TV or
LCD TV/monitor.
ARM/ACTIVE
In this mode, the LED flashes RED every 8 seconds – this will be a bright flash if mains
power is present, otherwise a dim flash if on battery power. Once the DVR has detected
that a camera has been switched on, then it beeps (the user can select to disable this
sound) and recording starts within two seconds. The recording continues until the
camera is switched off, when the DVR closes the file on the SD card. Once there is
video/audio stored on the SD card, then the LED will flash more frequently until the
switch has been moved to OFF or MONITOR.
Each successive clip of video/audio is saved as a separate file.
There are 10 external switches to select various options:
1 – Audio channel is 6.0MHz (when DOWN)
2 – Audio channel is 6.5MHz (when DOWN)
3, 4 and 5 – Select camera video channel – see below
6 – sounder muted if switch is DOWN
7, 8 – select receiver channel (as per the camera controller)
9,10 – DVR timeout
