Quick Start Guide

The unit supports Video Inputs via 

the 75Ω BNC connectors. Connect 

cameras to the video inputs starting 

from input 1. 
The two rows of connectors provide 

video input and loop-through support.

For consistency, DM recommend one 

row is used for video inputs and the 

other for loop-through connections. 
Note: Remember the last piece of 

equipment in line must be terminated.

The unit supports a main monitor via 

BNC ‘MON A’ and a spot monitor via 

BNC ‘MON B’.

supports a main monitor connection via 

the HDMI port.

 

The DV-IP Express additionally 

supports a main monitor connection via 

the VGA port.

The unit supports two channels of 

bi-directional audio (accessible through 

NetVu ObserVer). Connect the audio 

equipment to the phono sockets AUDIO 

IN and AUDIO OUT. The audio channel 

defaults to record camera channel 1.
Note: The DV-IP RT additionally 

supports real time audio per camera 

channel.

The unit has an internal power supply 

unit. Connect the mains lead to the 

unit and then to the wall socket, or to 

a fused spur connection. Check local 

regulations before installation. Some 

countries require an Alarm/Security
