There is BNC connector that is not being used.

It is reserved for future development.

Connect the cameras to the Video In ports located on the rear panel of the DVR using the proper cables and connectors

(BNC Twist Lock). The corresponding video channels can be “looped” out using the “loop out” ports located beneath each

video input port. Terminators are not required. DVR will detect the system format (NTSC and PAL) automatically. Please

refer to the figure below..

The loop out ports may be used to display the video signal from each individual channel to any desired display output

device such as a monitor, or it can be used to provide a video signal to another DVR system. The type of connection of the

loop out ports use is BNC Twist Lock type.
