are needed for stranded wire or solid wire. Prepare the end of the wire by removing the following  
amounts of insulation:  
Always turn off the SVR-1670 and disconnect the power cord from its power source before  
you connect devices to the SVR-1670.  
· Stranded wire : Strip 1/3 ~ 1/2" (8 ~ 10mm) of insulation off the end of the wire and solder it together.  
Use AWG 22 ~ 26 wire.

The following default settings are assigned to cameras that are connected to the SVR-1670.  
Basic Connection Diagram  
· Video input type, which is determined by the device that is connected to the lowest channel number. For  
example, if there are five cameras connected to the SVR-1670 and the lowest channel number in use is  
6, then the SVR-1670 will set the video input type to match the camera connected to channel 6.  
The following configuration diagram depicts a basic sample configuration that include cameras,  
monitors, sensors, and relays. These diagrams are representative only and are not intended to  
depict the only possible configurations for the SVR-1670.  
· Terminal resistance, which the SVR-1670 automatically sets at 75Ω when one video input port is in  
use. When a lower video input port is also connected, the SVR-1670 automatically separates the terminal  
resistance between 75Ω and Hi-Z (high impedance).  
About Video In and Out Connections  
The SVR-1670 video input/output connections are “Loop through." Their connection status is detected  
automatically to set terminal resistance.  
For example, when only video input is connected, terminal resistance is set internally to 75Ω. When  
video input and output are connected, terminal resistance is set to Hi-Z. This setting for input and output  
connections sets the external output device to 75Ω for terminal resistance.  
Figure 3.3.1 Sample Connection Diagrams  
Connecting Cameras  
1. Ensure that the SVR-1670 is not connected to a live power source.  
2. Using video cable, connect up to 16 standard CCTV cameras to the SVR-1670. Follow the  
instructions provided with the cameras to connect them to an external power source.

For example, if your camera points to the car dealership’s car lot, you will prefer motion detection  
around the cars themselves. You will be less interested in motion detection on the trees or light  
poles that surround your lot. In this case, you can limit the Motion Detection (MD) zone around  
the cars. To set your motion detection area:  
The delimiter value will differ depending on the device used. For more information  
on delimiters, refer to the user manual or the device manufacturer.  
Delimiter  
DelimiterLines defined below are the maximum number of text lines available  
for one piece of data. Even though data is standardized, lengths might differ.  
For example, three lines are programmed for client name input for an ATM, but  
if someone registers only his/her first name and last name, only two lines are  
provided when the person uses an ATM. However, the DVR cannot detect this  
automatically, so Timeout is used to determine how long is needed to recognize the  
received data as complete data after the last line is entered.  
1. From the Normal Event submenu, in the Area option, set Select Area.

The recording quality: Q5, Q4, Q3, Q2, and Q1.  
For Event Recording, Q3 or higher is recommended.  
Q (Quality)  
You can define 26 programs—lableled from A to Z—and specify particular frame rates, video quality  
and resolution for each. You then use these programs for both Manual and Schedule recording.  
This box displays the maximum frame rate available for the selected resolution. For  
example, if CIF 30fps appears in this box, it means that you can select up to 30fps  
for the CIF resolution of a selected channel. D1 30fps means that you can select  
up to 30fps for the D1 resolution.  
Maximum R/F  
To set up a program :  
1. Access the Program submenu, on the Record Setup menu of the OSD.  
About Recording Performance & Capacity  
Recording performance for the SVR-1680/1660 is CIF 480fps for both Normal and Event  
Recording.  
∙ When both recording modes are in effect, recording performance must not exceed CIF 480fps.  
The resolution and maximum frame rate vary depending on the number of enabled channels.  
∙ D1 (704 x 480) = 2 x Half D1 (704 x 240) = 4 x CIF (352 x 240)  
Channels 1-8  
are listed on  
the left grid.  
Channels 9-16  
are listed on  
the right grid.  
∙ 120 D1 compressed frames = 240 Half D1 compressed frames = 480 CIF compressed frames.  
Event Settings Limitations  
When every channel is set up to record Normally at CIF 30fps, the Event settings for the first  
channel are limited to CIF 30 fps, Half 15 fps, and D1 7fps.  
If you want to set the Event settings to D1 30fps, the Normal settings of the other channels must  
be changed to total CIF 360fps or less.

2. For Program option, select any letter from A-Z .  
- The settings for that program display. For each pre-set Program, the settings for all channels  
are identical. You can edit any setting within any Program.  
- Each channel has two recording modes: Normal and Event. Normal recording proceeds until  
an event occurs. When an event occurs, the recording shifts into the Event Recording settings  
you have specified.  
- For both Normal and Event recording, there are three settings: Resolution, Frames per Second  
and Quality. All are further explained in the table below.  
Freeing Up Capacity  
You can free up capacity by disabling unused channels. If a channel is disabled, its surplus CIF  
30fps becomes available for other use.  
∙ To disable a channel, go to the Display Setup menu on the OSD: Select the Channel Number,  
then for the Status option select Disable. If disabled, the channel is grayed-out on the Program  
menu and is uneditable.  
Setting a channel’s resolution to 0 fps does not free up space because the channel still  
uses 2-3 recording frames per second—even when set to 0fps—for tasks such as network  
communications.  
3. Notice that you can highlight any setting on any channel (the background turns red) and then  
adjust the setting.
