QC40198 User Manual  
3.5 Connecting Power Supply  
We recommend you use UPS (uninterrupted power supply) to guarantee steady operation, combo DVR life span,  
and other peripheral equipment’s operation such as cameras. We also strongly recommend that you plug the DVR  
and cameras into a transient voltage surge protector (UL-1449 rating). Look for a clamping voltage of 330 or lower,  
Joule rating of at least 400, and a response time of 10 nanoseconds or less.  
3.5.1 Connecting Video Input  
The video input interface is BNC. The input video formats include: PAL/NTSC (See Figure 3-2)  
The video signal complies with North American NTSC video standards.  
We recommend setting your video up in an area with low video input signal distortion and interference in an area  
with suitable lighting.  
Ensure the stability and reliability of camera signal:  
The camera should be positioned so that direct sunlight does not shine into it, and away from flammable, explosive  
substances. Cameras and DVR should share the same grounding if possible to ensure normal operation of  
cameras.  
Ensure stability and reliability of the cables  
If you are running cables more than 200 feet or installing cable in walls, we recommend using high quality shielded  
RG59 cables. If you plan on running cables over 800 feet, we recommend using a higher quality shielded cable  
such as RG6.  
For distances above 1,800 feet, we recommend using fiber optic cable to ensure video quality.  
Keep the video signal away from any strong electromagnetic interference.  
Make sure cables are well connected to DVR  
The cable should be fixed firmly to the BNC connectors on the dongle.  
Figure 3-2  
3.5.2 Connecting Video Output  
Video output includes BNC (PAL/NTSC BNC1.0VP- P75Ωoutput and HDMI output.  
System supports BNC and HDMI output at the same time. (See Figure 3-3)  
.
When hooking your system up to a PC monitor through the BNC video out port you will need to use a  
composite to VGA converter box. We do not recommend attaching to RCA ports on a TV through the BNC  
output because it can damage the TV, DVR, or both.

3.6 Connecting Audio Input & Output, Bidirectional Audio  
3.6.1 Audio Input  
This product uses BNC ports. Audio transmission is similar to video transmission. Try to avoid interference, keep  
contacts snug and dry, and away from high tension current.  
Figure 3-4  
3.6.2 Audio Output  
The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200mv 1KΩ (BNC). It can directly connect to low impedance  
earphone, active sound box or amplifier-driven audio output device.(See Figure 3-5)  
If the sound box and the pick-up cannot be separated spatially, it is easy to get reverb or squeaking feedback. If  
feedback occurs, try these tips:  
Use better sound pick-up with better directing properties.  
Reduce the volume of the sound box.  
Using more sound-absorbing materials can reduce voice echo and improve acoustics environment  
Adjust the layout to reduce occurrence of squeaking

There are two alarm input types for you to select: normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC).  
1. Alarm input  
a. Please make sure alarm input is grounded.  
b. Grounding signal is needed for alarm input.  
c. When you are connecting two combo DVRs or you are connecting one combo DVR and one other device, please  
use a relay to separate them  
2. Alarm output  
The alarm output port should not be connected to high power load directly (It shall be less than 1A) to avoid high  
current which may result in relay damage. Please use the co-contactor to establish the connection between the  
alarm output port and the load.

How to connect PTZ camera  
a. Ensure the camera has the same grounding with combo DVR otherwise you may not control the PTZ. Shielded  
twisted wire is recommended and the shielded layer is used to connect to the ground.  
b. For excessively long signal wires, 120Ω should be parallel connected between A, B lines on the far end to  
reduce reflection and guarantee the signal quality.  
c. 485 A, B” of combo DVR cannot parallel connect with “485 port” of other device.  
d. The voltage between of A, B lines of the camera should be less than 5v.

You can connect the combo DVR with POS or Keyboard through RS232.  
With POS system, the combo DVR can communicate through RS232 and network. For the POS system, the combo  
DVR can integrate the text content and even search the record through the info.  
The combo DVR also supports NKB operation. You can operate the combo DVR from keyboard controls instead of  
using the control pad on the front panel of the unit.  
3.9 RS485  
When the combo DVR receives a camera control command, it transmits that command up the cable to the PTZ  
camera. RS485 is a single-direction protocol; the PTZ device can’t return any data to the unit. To enable the  
operation, connect the data cable from the PTZ camera to the RS485 (A, B) input on the combo DVR. See Figure 3-  
9.  
Since RS485 is disabled by default for each camera, you must enable the PTZ settings first. This combo DVR  
supports multiple protocols such as Pelco-D, Pelco-P, as well as most common protocols (26 total).  
To connect PTZ cameras to the DVR:  
1. Connect RS485 A, B on the DVR rear panel.  
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the proper pins in the connector on the camera.  
3. Please follow the instructions to configure a camera to enable each PTZ device on the combo DVR.

DHCP: You use this option to have the router the DVR is attached to assign an IP address for you. When you  
enable the DHCP function, you can not modify IP/Subnet mask /Gateway. These values are assigned by the  
DHCP function in the router. If you have not enabled DHCP function, IP/Subnet mask/Gateway display is zero.  
You need to disable DHCP function to view current IP information. When PPPoE is operating, you can not  
modify IP/Subnet mask /Gateway.  
TCP port: Default value is 37777.  
UDP port: Default value is 37778.  
HTTP port: Default value is 80.  
IP address: Here you can input a static IP address.  
You will need to setup the network settings on the DVR to match the settings of the router that you attach the  
DVR to. To get the router settings you would go to the run option on a computer attached to the same router as  
the DVR and type cmd and hit OK to bring up a command prompt (Figure 5-10), then type ipconfig at the  
prompt (RED arrow on Figure 5-10) to access the router settings. Write down the gateway and subnet mask  
numbers (GREEN arrows on Figure 5-10) so you can copy them into the network settings on the DVR. Use the  
MENU on the DVR to get to the system’s NETWORK screen shown as Figure 5-9.  
Figure 5-10  
For the DVRs IP address you would enter the same first 3 sets of numbers as the gateway and select a fourth  
set of numbers that is different then any other device attached to the same router. If the IP address of your  
computer in the ipconfig (BLUE arrow in Figure 5-10) was a single or two digit number you should be ok with  
any three digit number, if the computer IP address ends with a number in the 100s then you should go with a  
200 number. Enter the same Gateway and Subnet as the green arrows in ipconfig.  
Maximum connections: system supports up to 10 users. 0 means there is no connection limit.  
Transfer mode: Here you can select the priority between fluency/video qualities.  
LAN download: System can process the downloaded data first if you enable this function. The download speed  
is 1.5X or 2.0X of the normal speed.

To access the DVR from a remote computer over the internet you will need to forward port 80 and port 37777  
of the Router the DVR is attached to, to the IP address of the DVR. You can get instructions on how to do this  
for most popular routers by going to www.portforward.com. Once there, click on the orange “Routers” link in  
the second paragraph as shown in Figure 7-1. Find the link of the brand and model of your router from the list  
of manufacturers and click the “next button”. From there, click on the orange “Default Guide” link (BLUE box  
in Figure 7-2). This will take you to the port forwarding instructions for your router.  
When you access the DVR from a remote computer you also need to use a different address in the Internet  
Explorer browser window. Instead of entering the IP address of the DVR you need to enter the public IP  
address of the router the DVR is attached to. You can get this address by going to www.myipaddress.com from  
a computer that is attached to the same router as the DVR. This website will display your address as illustrated  
in Figure 7-3. The example below shows an IP Address of 76.254.183.54. Please make sure to take note of the  
address that you obtain for your own Router and use it accordingly.

NOTE: If you cannot use HTTP port 80 or 37777 because it is being used by another program, or it is being blocked by your service provider, you  
can use another port in the same range. If you do so then you need to forward the IP address of the router to the other port, change the port in the  
DVR NETWORK settings and you need to add the port number after the IP address. For example, if you set the HTTP port as 82, you need to enter  
the IP address as xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:82. Where the Xs are the numbers of the IP address you received from www.myipaddress.com  
User name and password here are the same as what you use on the DVR.  
7.1.2 Pop-Ups and ActiveX Controls  
To access the DVR through Internet Explorer after you have configured your network settings on your DVR to  
match the settings of your Router and forwarded your ports as discussed above, you will need to modify your  
browser controls to allow Pop-ups. To do this, go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the "tools"  
option (RED box in Figure 7-4), then select the "Pop up Blocker" option and select "Turn Off Pop-up Blocker”  
(BLUE arrows in Figure 7-4). You will also need to enable Active X controls. To do this, go to the Internet  
Explorer tool bar and select the "tools" option, then "Internet Options"(GREEN arrow in Figure 7-4). This will  
open an Internet Options dialog box as shown in Figure 7-5. Through here, choose the "Security" tab (RED box  
in Figure 7-5), then click the "Custom Level" button (GREEN box in Figure 7-5), then click on OK (BLUE arrow in  
Figure 7-5). This will open a dialog box as shown in Figure 7-6. Once here, scroll down to the ActiveX Controls  
and Plug Ins and make sure they are all set to either prompt (BLUE arrows Figure 7-6) or enabled (RED arrows  
Figure 7-6).  
Figure 7-4  
To connect to the DVR from the remote computer you would then open an Internet Explorer browser window  
and enter the internet IP of your router that you got by going to www.myipaddress.com.

QC40198 User Manual  
8. SETUP MYQ-SEE DDNS  
Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) provides the capability for a networked device using the Internet  
Protocol Suite to notify a DDNS host to change the active DNS configuration of its hostnames or addresses.  
This is a useful feature that your Q-See DVR system is equipped with and can be helpful in avoiding any issues  
that might occur due to frequent or unplanned changes to your Public/WAN IP address. Enabling DDNS on  
your Q-See DVR system will allow you to connect to your device through a DDNS host such as myq-see.com.  
In order to facilitate this ability on your Q-See DVR system, you must first set up Port Forwarding as directed in  
the User Manual for this device. Once you have enabled Port Forwarding, you can configure your DDNS  
information by following these steps:  
a. Using a computer that is connected to the same network as your Q-See DVR, use your IE Browser to go  
b. Click on the New User? Link at the bottom of your page (http://myq-see.com/reg.asp).  
c. Complete the registration process by following the on-screen directions and click the [Submit] button  
at the bottom of your screen (Figure 8-1).

available and list an IP address (Figure 8-2). Verify that this is your current IP Address by going to  
www.myipaddress.com and checking that it is the same address listed in your confirmation screen  
(Figure 2).  
e. Once you have completed steps a-d, go to the DVR and go to MenuSettings, Network (Figure 8-  
3).
