•Storage Device Connection

Connect an external USB hard drive or a USB

flash memory device to one of the USB ports

for use with the Clip Copy feature. The external

storage device should be placed as close to the

NVR as possible. It is recommended that you use

a connection cable that is no longer than 180cm

in length. Use the connection cable included with

your external storage device to connect the device

to one of NVR's USB ports. For more information

Clip Copy, refer to the Clip Copy on page 69.

•Peripheral Device Connection

Use the USB ports to connect peripherals such

as a USB mouse or a USB printer to the NVR.

You can also use a USB-to-serial converter and

connect multiple text-in devices to the NVR at

the same time. It is also possible to connect a

PostScript™ printer and print stills from video data

stored on the NVR. The NVR supports version 2.0

and above PostScript™ printers. In addition, it is

possible to print color images if you own a color

PostScript™ printer. Connect the printer to one of

NVR's USB ports. For more information on printing

video stills, refer to the Print on page 70.

•For USB flash memory devices, the NVR

supports the FAT32 file format only.

•This NVR supports PostScript™ printers only.

•This NVR does not include a printer cable.

If your printer does not support USB

connection, please purchase and use a USB-

to-parallel port cable.

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.
