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.
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.
Use 12V, below 300mA. For controlling lights or other devices, use another external relay.
Maximum voltage is 24V AC @ 1 amp
Output uses a Form C Relay
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.
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.
ON Not connected to a monitor (Normal) OFF Connected to a monitor (Looped)
Always leave the dipswitch set to the ON position when the Looping Outputs are not used.
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
- Locate the PTZ adapter cable
- 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-.
- Connect the other end of the adapter to the XVR unit as shown.
- 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.

Each recorder has up to 16 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.
External Power Supply (DC 12V)
Use 12V, below 300mA. For controlling lights or other devices, use another external relay.
Maximum voltage is 24V AC @ 1 amp
Output uses a Form C Relay
Looping Outputs
The 8/16 Channel DVSe has up to 16 looping outputs. Depending on the destination of the looping outputs, each one may have to be terminated.
The 32 Channel DVSe has up to 32 looping outputs. Connect the included 16 Channel BNC Connector Cables to the 16 Channel Cable Adapter ports.
The video inputs/outputs 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 VCRs.
Looping Output Termination
When it is necessary to terminate a looping output, the recorder has built in termination that allows users to select individual outputs. It is not always necessary to terminate the output; it depends on the device to which you are connecting. As a rule, if the image appears distorted or virtually unviewable, it likely needs to be terminated.
ON Not connected to a monitor (Normal) OFF Connected to a monitor (Looped)
Always leave the dipswitch set to the ON position when the Looping Outputs are not used.
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-422/485 signal which is then sent to the PTZ camera.
Attaching the 4-Pin Adapter
- Locate the PTZ adapter cable
- 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-.
- Connect the other end of the adapter to the XVR unit as shown.
- 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.
HARD DRIVE ARRAY (DVSe ONLY)
Swapping a Hard Drive
- Press the Hard Drive Power Button to turn off power to the hard drive being removed.
- Turn the Button Lock to the open position and push the Handle Release Button
- 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:
- Turn on the monitor and any external peripherals (ex. Printers, External Storage Devices, etc.) connected to the recorder.
- Turn on the Secondary Power Switch located in the rear of the recorder.
- 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
