intuitive user interface offering an unprecedented level of functionality.  
WHAT IS A DVR?  
A digital video recorder (DVR) is a video recording and playback device. A DVR incorporates all  
of the essential capabilities of a VCR but adds significant advantages. Like a VCR, video is  
recorded from one or more cameras and stored for later playback and retrieval; however, in a  
DVR, video data is recorded and stored on a hard disk instead of magnetic tape. Storing video in  
this manner facilitates instant, random access to data, as opposed to sequential access  
inherent to tape-based recording. This means no fast-forwarding or rewinding is necessary to  
locate the data a user wants to view or export. Another key advantage over tape is decreased  
maintenance. With no need to replace tapes, DVRs with hard disks can be left unattended for  
extended periods of time. Since video remains in the digital domain, data is easy to store,  
transport, and manipulate. Unlike analog video recordings, digital data does not suffer from a  
loss in quality when copied or moved from device to device. Because DVRs rely on hard disks  
instead of tape, data storage is virtually unlimited. Video data can also take advantage of  
compression technology to increase the efficiency of storage media. Modern DVRs, such as the  
DX8000, allow users to record, play back, and view live video simultaneously. Keeping data  
digital means video can be easily backed up to a variety of storage media. It also means that  
alphanumeric information, such as date, time, and transaction statistics, can be synchronously  
recorded with video.

Appendix C: Connecting the Optional DX8000-AUD Audio Option  
The DX8000 supports audio recording capabilities with the installation of the DX8000-AUD audio expansion option. Audio inputs correspond to  
video inputs; therefore, an eight-channel DX8000 Series DVR can accept eight audio inputs and a sixteen-channel DVR can accept sixteen audio  
inputs. Audio and video inputs are configured in a one-to-one relationship. For example, audio input seven corresponds to video channel seven.  
The DX8000 accepts up to 16 individual monaural audio inputs. Each input is designed to receive a line-level, analog audio signal that is sampled  
at a rate of 48 kHz (16 bits) by the DX8000-AUD’s digital analog converters (DAC). To minimize the amount of storage required to store audio data,  
the audio stream is down-sampled to 8 kHz (8 bits) for storage and playback.  
IMPORTANT: Before using the audio recording features of the DX8000, consult the applicable laws regarding audio surveillance recording  
for your location.  
SETTING UP AUDIO INPUTS  
Audio input to the DX8000 is provided through an audio cable consisting of eight RCA connectors wired to a 15-pin D-sub breakout connector.  
The D-sub connector plugs into the rear panel of the DVR. Depending on your system’s configuration, either one or two breakout cables will be  
required to connect the DVR to an audio system.

IMPORTANT: The DX8000-AUD option accepts an unbalanced, line-level audio signal only. Line-level signaling requires a voltage  
between -1 V and +1 V into an impedance of 1 kor more. This means that the output of most microphones will be too low to function  
when connected directly to the DX8000’s audio inputs. In most applications, a preamplifier such as the Louroe Electronics ASK-4® KIT #101  
will be required to boost the signal of a microphone to a level that is acceptable for input into the DX8000.

SETTING UP AUDIO OUTPUT  
The DX8000 delivers a line-level monaural signal through a standard 0.125-inch phone jack on the rear panel of the DVR. It is recommended that  
the audio output of the DX8000 be connected to an amplifier in order to boost the output signal to a level that is sufficient to drive a speaker.  
NOTE: Some speaker systems integrate both amplifiers and speakers in a single unit. Such a system can be connected directly to the  
audio output of the DX8000 without the need for external amplification.  
1. Connect the audio output of the DX8000 to an audio amplifier.  
NOTE: Use an audio cable with a 0.125-inch miniature male phone plug on one end to connect to the audio output of the DX8000. Ensure  
that the opposite end of the cable has the appropriate connectors for connection to your amplifier.  
2. Connect the audio amplifier to a speaker.

Appendix D: Connecting an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)  
If uninterrupted operation is desired and the power grid cannot provide adequate uptime, it is highly recommended that each DX8000 Series DVR  
be connected to a UPS device (not supplied). A UPS device will supply a limited amount of battery backup power in the event of a power failure.  
Each UPS device should be configured to shut down its corresponding DVR safely during an extended period on battery power.

Appendix E: External Storage Expansion Using DX9200HDDI  
BASIC INSTALLATION  
The DX9200HDDI can increase the DX8000’s storage capacity by up to 3.2 TB. The external IDE RAID is connected to the DX8000’s optional SCSI  
interface by a 50-pin to 68-pin SCSI cable, included with the DX9200HDDI. The DX9200HDDI option is available for DX8008-080 and DX8016-080  
systems that are preconfigured at the factory.  
IMPORTANT:  
The DX9200HDDI can be used for either offline backup storage or real-time video storage. When used as a real-time storage device,  
the frame rates of each channel on the DX8000 must be set at less than or equal to 24 images per second (ips) for 16-channel DVRs  
and up to 30 ips for 8-channel DVRs. Setting the frame rate above 24 ips for a 16-channel DVR will result in skipped frames and  
significant performance degradation.*  
To connect the DX9200HDDI to the DX8000, the optional DX8000-ISCI internal SCSI interface must be installed.  
Make sure HDDI power is turned on first and then turn power on to the DX8000.  
1. Connect either one or two DX8000 DVRs to a single DX9200HDDI with a standard 50-pin to 68-pin SCSI cable.
