OPTIONAL COMPONENTS

To fully utilize the DVR unit???s potential; several optional Surveillix components are listed below. Contact the dealer for more information.

1 Extra Video Storage Hard Drive

Each DVR unit has a virtually unlimited storage potential. Add additional Video Data Hard Drives to extend the amount of Video Data the DVR system can store before overwriting older data.

This 56K modem allows the user to connect the DVR to a standard phone line. Using this modem, either connect the unit to the Internet or allow a direct DVR to computer connection.

UPS Power Backups allow your DVR unit to remain fully functional even in the event of a power failure. UPS Power Backups also even the fluctuating power current out to provide a consistent, reliable power flow. This creates a stable environment for the DVR unit and reduces failure.

The 4 Channel KVM switch allows you to have multiple boxes (up to 4) using only one keyboard, mouse and monitor. You can simply switch between the DVR units using the keyboard.

5 Hot Swappable Redundant Power Supplies

Every DVR and EVR has the option of a dual redundant hot swappable power supply. In the event of a component failure the inoperable power supply may be removed leaving the DVR running so no break in recording occurs. Simply replace the power supply with a new one and you are finished.

6 Raid Controller

A raid controller is available for increased performance or data reliability.

KEYBOARD SETUP

To attach the keyboard to the DVR unit, plug the end of the Keyboard into the keyboard PS/2 Port located on the back of the machine. The keyboard PS/2 Port can be identified by the purple color. Refer to the Rear Panel Connectors diagram for more information.

MOUSE SETUP

To attach the mouse to the DVR unit, plug the end of the mouse into the mouse PS/2 Port located on the back of the machine. The mouse PS/2 Port can be identified by the green color.

The mouse uses a cursor called a pointer. Pointers come in many different shapes but are most commonly shaped like an arrow.

The mouse has two buttons: a left button and a right button. Quickly pressing and releasing one of these buttons is called clicking. Sometimes you will need to double-click ??? or click the same button twice quickly.

In this manual:

Click means to position the mouse cursor over an item and to single click the left button.

Right click means to position the mouse cursor over an item and to single click the right button. Double-click means to position the mouse cursor over an item and to click the left button twice. Select means to position the mouse cursor over a radio button, checkbox, or list item and click on it.

The scroll wheel in between the two buttons is used for added navigation functionality. By moving the wheel with index finger (scrolling), quickly move through multiple pages, lines, or windows. The wheel may also function as a third button allowing the user to quickly click or double-click an icon or a selected item

Scroll Button / Third Button

Right Button

Left Button

MONITOR SETUP

The DVR may have one or both of the following connections available for monitors which can be used individually or in tandem.

Attach the monitor or monitors to the rear of the DVR unit using the cable supplied by the monitor manufacturer. Refer to the monitor manual for detailed information on how to setup and use it.

NOTE: The monitor must be capable of having a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and display colors of at least 32 Bit

POWER SETUP

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the equipment:

Do not disable the power grounding plug.

The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

If the electrical plug you are using does not have a ground plug receptacle contact a licensed electrician to have it replaced with a grounded electrical outlet.

Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

Disconnect the power from the computer by unplugging the power cord either from the electrical outlet or the computer.

CONNECTING SENSORS TO THE DVR

Each DVR unit may have up to 16 Sensor inputs. These inputs can be used with devices such as infrared devices, motion device, glass breakage alarms, door and window trips, and many more. The Sensors can be set to Normally Open or Normally Closed inside the software.

There are 4 Common Grounds (-) and 16 sensor inputs (+). There is no power supplied to the ports so an external power supply must be used if power is necessary.

Sensor Inputs

CONNECTING CONTROL OUTPUTS TO THE DVR

Each DVR unit may have up to 16 Control Outputs. These outputs can be used to trigger devices such as Sirens, Phone Dialers, Lights, and any other relay activated device. There is no power supplied to the ports. Use an external power supply if necessary.

(-) (+)

Siren, Alarm, Outside Relays

External Power Supply (DC 12V)

Use 12V, below 300mA. For controlling lights or other devices, use another external relay. Maximum voltage is 24V AC @ 1 amp

Output uses a Form C Relay

LOOPING OUTPUTS

The 8 and 16 Channel DVR units may have up to 16 Looping outputs. Depending on the destination of the outputs, each output may have to be terminated. Looping outputs for a 16 Channel DVR looping are highlighted below.

32 Channel EVR units may have up to 32 looping outputs.

The Video inputs are RJ-59 BNC connectors. Make sure there is a video source connected to the input and then connect a cable to the Channel Out. The looping outs can be connected to video monitors or combined with adapters to connect to VCR???s.

LOOPING OUTPUT TERMINATION

When terminating the outputs becomes necessary, the DVR unit has built in termination that allows you to select individual outputs to terminate individually. It is not always necessary to terminate the output when using it. It is dependant on the device with which you are connecting it to. As a rule, if the image appears distorted or virtually unviewable, it most likely needs to be terminated.

Always leave the dipswitch set to the ON position when the Looping Outputs are not used.

CONNECTING A 16 CHANNEL AUDIO INPUT CABLE

The 16 channel audio input cable (standard with the 16Ch 480 PPS Surveillix DVR) connects to a single serial port in the back of the unit.

When connecting the 16 Channel Audio Input Cable, make sure to properly secure the cable to insure there is no loss of audio quality.

CONNECTING A PTZ CAMERA

Setting up a PTZ Camera is simple. The DVR unit comes preassembled with an internal PTZ adapter. The cabling may be run up to 4,000 ft using 22 Gauge Twisted Pair.

It is important to understand how the PTZ connects to the DVR. The DVR outputs an RS-232 signal and converts in to an RS-422/485 signal which is then sent to the PTZ camera.

Attaching the RS-422 Adapter (x120 and x60 models)

1.Locate the PTZ adapter cable

2.Connect the wires of the PTZ adapter to the PTZ camera. The red wire should connect to the RX+ on the camera and the brown wire should connect to the RX-.

NOTE: The PTZ adapter has four wires but only two are necessary for this application; the yellow and orange wires are not used currently.

3.Connect the other end of the adapter to the XVR unit as shown.

4.Assign the PTZ camera an ID number that coincides with the number assigned to it by the XVR unit

Example: If the camera is plugged into input number 5, set the PTZ unit to ID number 5.

Attaching the RS-485 Adapter (x120R, x240 and x480 models)

1.Locate the PTZ adapter cable.

2.Connect the two wires of the PTZ adapter to the PTZ camera. The red wire on the adapter should connect to the RX+ on the PTZ and the brown wire should connect to the RX-.

3.Connect the other end of the adapter to the DVR unit as shown

4.Assign the PTZ camera an ID number that coincides with the number assigned to it by the DVR unit.

Example: If the camera is plugged into input number 5, set the PTZ unit to ID number 5.
