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

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.

MAKING CONNECTIONS ON AN XVSe

Connecting a Video Source

There are different types of Video Sources that can be plugged into the XVSe including DVD players, VHS players, and CCTV Cameras. The back of the XVSe contains up to 16 video inputs depending on the model. The connectors use the BNC standard.

CH1 in CH2 in CH3 in CH4 in CH5 in CH6 in CH7 in CH8 CH9 in CH10 in CH11 in CH12 in CH13 in CH14 in CH15 in CH16

The video inputs are 75 Ω BNC connectors. Plug one end into the video source (DVD, Camera, etc.) and plug the other end into the desired BNC input on the recorder.

Connecting Sensors

Each XVSe has 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.

Connecting Control Outputs

Each XVSe has 4 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.

Looping Outputs

The XVSe has 16 Looping outputs. Depending on the destination of the outputs, each output may have to be terminated. The outputs are located on the BNC Connector Cable. Attach the cable to the input for the BNC Connector Cable highlighted below.

Diagram showing a cable connector connected to an electronic device with labeled ports and indicators.

The video inputs are 75 Ω BNC connectors. Make sure there is a video source connected to the input and then connect a cable to the Channel Out on the BNC Connector Cable. 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 recorder 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 dependent 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.

Connecting a PTZ Camera

Setting up a PTZ Camera is simple. The recorder 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 recorder. The recorder outputs an RS-232 signal and converts in to an RS-485 signal which is then sent to the PTZ camera.

Attaching the 4-Pin Adapter

  1. Locate the PTZ adapter cable
  2. Connect the wires of the PTZ adapter to the PTZ camera. The yellow wire should connect to the RX+ on the camera and the orange wire should connect to the RX-.
  3. Connect the other end of the adapter to the XVR unit as shown.
  4. Assign the PTZ camera an ID number in PTZ Setup that coincides with the number assigned to the camera. This is normally done utilizing a dip-switch configuration method on the addressable dome.
    Example: If the camera is plugged into input number 5, set the PTZ unit to ID number 5.

Swapping a Hard Drive

LOCK ① OPEN ② LOCK ③ OPEN ④ LOCK ⑤ OPEN ⑥

  1. Press the Hard Drive Power Button to turn off power to the hard drive being removed.
  2. Turn the Button Lock to the open position and push the Handle Release Button
  3. Pull the Release Handle outward while removing the hard drive. Reverse steps to install.

Once the cables and adapters have been properly connected it is time to turn on the power. To turn on the power follow these steps:

  1. Turn on the monitor and any external peripherals (ex. Printers, External Storage Devices, etc.) connected to the recorder.
  2. Turn on the Secondary Power Switch located in the rear of the recorder.
  3. Turn on the main power switch located on the front of the recorder.

The recorder will run a series of self-tests. After two or three minutes a series of messages may be displayed as the various hardware and software subsystems are activated. Under normal circumstances you should not be asked to respond to these messages. If you are asked to respond to the messages (adding a Printer, Monitor, etc for the first time) follow the instructions carefully.

After this finishes, the Surveillix recorder software should load automatically and bring you to the main screen.

To turn off the recorder, select the Exit button on the main screen and select Power Off. The recorder will safely shutdown, it may take several minutes to shut down completely.

Caution: Always be sure to follow the proper procedures when turning off the power to the recorder. NEVER disconnect the power to the recorder while it is still running or in the process of shutting down. Doing so can cause data loss, file corruption, system instability and hardware failure
