•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.

port. Use the AUDIO OUT port to listen to audio from
network cameras.
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.
