It will be possible to reproduce the audio record-
ing or the live sound via a monitor with integrated
speaker or via an audio system. For this purpose,
connect one of the outputs to the audio input of the
monitor or to a line input of the audio system.
5.3 Alarm and control connections
Via the terminal strip (24), the recorder offers various
inputs and outputs for control and alarm evaluation.
5.3.1 Alarm inputs
As alarm sensors, use e.g. motion detectors or light
barriers equipped with NO (normally open) contacts
or NC (normally closed) contacts. Connect the sen-
sors to the following contacts of the terminal strip:
DMR-180 and DMR-184
sensor for channel 1 to contacts 3 and 4
sensor for channel 2 to contacts 5 and 6
sensor for channel 3 to contacts 7 and 8
sensor for channel 4 to contacts 9 and 10
DMR-188
sensor for channel 1 to contacts 3 and 4
sensor for channel 2 to contacts 4 and 5
sensor for channel 3 to contacts 6 and 7
sensor for channel 4 to contacts 7 and 8
sensor for channel 5 to contacts 9 and 10
sensor for channel 6 to contacts 10 and 11
sensor for channel 7 to contacts 12 and 13
sensor for channel 8 to contacts 13 and 14
Adjust the contact type (NO or NC) separately for
each channel (
line I/O STATUS in the menu
ALARM SETUP, chapter 10.1). Alarm triggering via a
normally open contact is factory-set.
5.3.2 Alarm output
As a potential-free alarm output, a relay with nor-
mally open contact (with a maximum load of 24 V /
500 mA) is available. The alarm output allows to con-
nect, for example, an audible or visible alarm device.
5.3.3 Camera remote control (PTZ)
Via the RS-485 interface, remote control of suitable
cameras will be possible. According to the features
of the camera, movements such as pan and tilt, but
also zoom, iris and motion speed will be controlled
via the recorder.
Connect the clip contacts 1 (
-
= RS-485-A) and 2
(+ = RS-485-B) to the corresponding contacts of the
camera. It will be possible to connect another cam-
era in parallel to the connections of the first one and
a further camera to this one again, etc. until all cam-
eras have been connected in a chain. To reduce
interference, it is recommended to use twisted
cables.
On the last camera, terminate the data bus by con-
necting the two cables via a 120 Ω resistor (this will
often be possible via a switch on the camera). Assign
an individual address to the cameras so that you will
be able to activate them independently of the
recorder. This is usually made via an OSD menu or a
DIP switch on the camera. Make the corresponding
settings on the recorder, i. e. the address to control
the corresponding camera and the transmission
parameters and protocol required (
chapter 11.1).
5.4 Mouse
For a more convenient operation of the recorder,
connect the mouse provided to the upper USB port
(21).
5.5 USB storage medium
For external backup of the recordings or for trans-
mission to a computer, it will be possible to connect
a hard disk with USB connection a or a USB stick
(flash EEPROM memory) to the second USB port
(22).
5.6 Computer network (LAN)
For remote control of the recorder via a computer,
connect the two units via the RJ45 jack LAN (23) or
link the recorder to a local computer network (e. g.
via a router) or make a connection to the Internet.
Note: For direct connection to a computer, a
crossover cable will be required.
5.7 Mains connection
Finally connect the power supply unit provided to the
jack DC 12 V (26) and connect the mains plug to a
socket (100 – 240 V~ / 50 – 60 Hz).
The set DMR-180SET includes a power distribu-
tor which will allow to connect up to 4 cameras to the
recorder provided that the cameras require a 12 V
operating voltage and the total power consumption
of all units will not exceed 5 A. For this purpose, also
take into account the additional power consumption
of a hard disk, installed or connected to the USB port
(22). The output cable of the distributor is pro-
vided with an interference suppression filter (bulge).
Connect this cable to the recorder. For DMR-184,
the power distributor is available as an accessory
(designation PSA-14). For DMR-188, the cameras
will require a separate power supply.
5.8
Inserting batteries into the remote control
1) Slide the latch (35) of the battery compartment on
the rear side of the remote control downwards
and open the battery compartment (36).
2) Insert the two batteries of the type AAA as indi-
cated in the battery compartment.
3) Replace the cover of the battery compartment
and engage it.
6 Operation
First switch on the monitor, then switch on the
recorder with the switch (1). On the screen, first
“System Initializing…” will appear, then a display
divided into four parts (
DMR-188:
divided into nine
parts) with all camera images selected for live sur-
veillance (
chapter 7.1).
After operation, switch off the recorder with the
switch . If it is not used for a longer period, discon-
nect the power supply unit from the mains as it will
have a low power consumption even with the
recorder switched off.
6.1 Activating the OSD menu
The settings of the recorder will be made via OSD
menu. This will be possible via the buttons on the
recorder or the infrared remote control. However, the
most convenient operation will be via mouse control
(mouse provided). Different menu languages will be
available (Selection of menu language –
chap-
ter 6.2.1). This instruction manual only refers to the
English menus preset in the factory.
To activate the menu list, click the right mouse
button or press the button SEL / EDIT (9), PTZ (16) or
SEL (33).
The following list will appear:
To select a list entry, use the buttons and (8,
29) or move the mouse pointer to it. The wheel on
the mouse will not have any effect for this recorder.
The list entry selected will be highlighted in green.
To activate the menu item selected or the func-
tion selected, click the entry with the left mouse but-
ton or press the button SEL / EDIT (9) or SEL (33).
To exit the menu list without activating a menu
item or a function, click next to the list with the left
mouse button or press the button MENU / ESC (7) or
MENU (32).
The list entries will have the following functions:
MAIN MENU
Activation of the main menu (
section below)
MENU LOCK

VIDEO SEARCH
Activation of the submenu to search for record-
ings for replay or data export (
