Please refer to the following sheet for more information.
z 4/8/16-ch grounding alarm inputs. (Normal open or Normal close type)
z Please parallel connect COM end and GND end of the alarm detector (Provide external
power to the alarm detector).
z Please parallel connect the Ground of the DVR and the ground of the alarm detector.
z Please connect the NC port of the alarm sensor to the DVR alarm input(ALARM)
z Use the same ground with that of DVR if you use external power to the alarm device.
No, don't want voice at all. I don't want a PIR to trip anything either- much too risky tripping
off an alarm I can't hear remotely. I simply [I had hoped] wanted to hook up a siren to the dvr
that I could, remotely through the software, engage for a moment if need be. Turn on/off
manually, remotely. Not sure my dvr can do this considering the settings I have in the alarm
page. I see the newer model q-see dvr supports manual alarm triggering- it has a spearate
software control button that turns it on/off and also has a spot for an IP address. Mine doesn't
have a manual trigger button in the software. Only NO/NC/OFF. I thought maybe just
switching to the oppposite- either NO or NC could trigger it manually, if something was
hooked up. Seems like I may have to spend even more bucks for a web switch if I really want
to do this. I was hopeful my dvr could somehow accomodate manually triggering a siren on
and off, but if it ain't so, oh well. Adam- thanks so much for your help in trying.
nputs:
Alarm inputs are devices or switches that activate when a door, window, cabinet etc. is opened or accessed. For
example,
you might want to only have the camera record when someone opens a tool cabinet or when a door opens vs.
recording when
motion occurs around those areas. There may be people moving by those areas frequently but you are only concerned
about
when those areas are accessed. This saves hard drive space and makes it easier to find an event that was recorded to
the hard drive.
To configure alarm inputs for devices without their own voltage you
will use the +12V input supplied on the alarm block. See Alarm Inputs
Configuration diagram at the right.
Note: If Alarm Input Device has its own power supply make sure:
1. Voltage rating is between 6V and 12V. Do not use the +12V
connection on the Alarm Block.
2. Ground must be connected to GND in Alarm Block for device to
operate properly
When an alarm is triggered, in the Live View Screen you will see a redI
in the Channel with an alarm input warning. You may also see aR
if you set up the channel to record when an alarm is triggered.
Alarm Ouput:
Alarm output is used to activate an external device such as a
horn or light after an alarm is triggered. To do this the DVR uses a
dry contact normally open relay. This DVR has two sets of alarm
outputs: COM1/NO1 and COM2/NO2. To configure alarm outputs,
connect the external device to the NO (Normally Open) and COM
(Common) connections on the alarm block as required by the device. See
table for Alarm Block Voltage. The maximum contact rating is 3A 24VDC. Note:
ALARM MANAGE settings work the same on both outputs. Alarm inputs 1 and

2 activate alarm output COM1/NO1. Alarm inputs 3 and 4 activate alarm output
COM2/NO2.

Wire PIR motion detector to wired alarm

system
Created: 06 June 2011
This article can help some of clients who don't know how to use the hardwired zones.
Now we are make a example of G70-GTW system connect to hardwired PIR Motion Detectors (VSYH300).
1. Wiring the cable of power supply from control panel to PIR motion detector (Red is +12V, Black is
GND).
2. Connect the EOL Resistor to PIR Motion Detector (We are using 2.2KOmh Resisors)
3. Wring the cable for wired zones (Z+ and Z-), please note that due to Z- is connecting to GND, so that
they share the same black wire.

(VS-YH300)

(VS-YH400)

(DG85)

4. Connect to external power (AC/DC adapter),turn on the power.

(Please note that if you want to use hardwired zones, you must to connect external power to G70-GTW)

5. Activate the wired zones for G70-GTW. When in programming status, select menu of Zone attribute,
then input the zone number which you need to activate, in Bypass zone menu, select No).

(Hardwired zones numbers are from 31 to 37)

6. Testing the connection. Before testing the connection, you need to put back the cover and close the PIR
Motion detector (so that it can test the tamper alarm).
(If you don't close the cover of PIR Motion detector, it will not trigger the alarm)
7. The real connection photo as below:

(VS-YH300)
Above article shows the NC connection (the default setting of PIR relayoutput are NC)
8. How to wire more than one (example: 2 or 3) wired sensors into one (single) zone ?
Actually wiring more than one wired sensors into a single zone is pretty easy, you just need to
connect them in series, then only put the EOL resistor to the last of wired sensor. After finish the
wiring, you need to power up the sensor, then using the multi-meter to measure the resistor value
in this zone. If the resistor value is 2.2K, then it means the wiring is correct.

Connect wired ir beam to gsm alarm

system
Created: 02 March 2012

This article is related to wire (connect) wired sensors (including IR beam, PIR motion
sensor, Door Magnetic Contact) to wired alarm system. Nowadays many customers are
buying alarm system to protect their residential and commercial business. Install
wireless alarm kit is pretty easy, but wiring the wired alarm system may turn to
nightmare for un-professional people. In order to help our customers on installation our
security alarm systems, we herein provide these information.
Wiring the wired IR beam sensor to wired GSM alarm system:

The IR beam sensor is the one of professional security equipment to provide perimeter
protection, it creates invisible fence around your premises. The sensor consists of
transmitter and receiver. we herein provide the wiring diagram as below:

Explanation: The above connection is Normal Close connection method. IR beam

sensors get the power from alarm panel (AUX, GND), and IR beam dry contact output
connect to tamper and zone 1 in series. Between zone wiring, there is a resistor (value
2.2K), we call it EOL resistor, it provides the protection for the wiring, also it's a must
to wire this in the sensor end (default is on alarm panel). If you want to use zone, you
need to take off the resistor for that zone. The connection real photo as below (Click

How to connect two IR beams into a single zone ? The diagram as below:

Wiring PIR Motion Sensor (DG85) to Wired Alarm System

If you can understand above information,then wiring PIR is more simple. DG85 is
professional dual PIR (quad element PIR sensor to reduce false alarm, pet friendly)
motion sensor for accurate movement detection.

Explanation: PIR sensor get the power supply from alarm panel (AUX and GND), the
dry contact output (from PIR) connect with tamper (TMP) and zone 1 in series, also
connecting with EOL resistor is essential. The real connection photo as below:

on the right column to chat with us, we are willing to give you help.
6.1 Alarm input port specification
1 channels alarm input. Alarm input type unlimited.
The grounding and the com port of the alarm sensor are parallel
(The alarm sensor is external power supply) .
The grounding of the alarm and the DVR should be shared.
The NC port of the alarm sensor must be connected with the
DVR alarm input port.
The grounding of the power supply and the alarm sensor must
be shared when used in external power supply.
2.6.2 Alarm output port specification
1 channels alarm output. There is external power supply when
using the external alarm equipment.
Please refer to the relay relevant parameters to avoid the
overload that damages main machine.

2.6.3 Alarm output port relay parameters

For example, the Samsung I installed, it has 4 outputs. They

put out 30VDC, with a maximum of 1.5A total.
Get a nice big siren.
So I would get a 30V normally open relay, hook it up to
output 1. Then connect one side of the relay to a 12VDC
source, and the other side to the positive connection of the
siren. Negative connection of the siren goes to GND on the
12VDC source.
IMPORTANT: Depending on your DVR, you may want to place
a reverse-biased diode between the relay connections that
the DVR will turn on. If your DVR uses transistors to switch
these outputs, they may not like the high voltage spikes the
coil in a relay puts out when it is switched off.
I say that because I have fried some transistors
before. That is a common practice when you are driving
an inductive load from transistors.
Now, I can open up my viewing software, connect from
anywhere, and click on alarm output 1, and turn it ON.
Freak out the loiterers, then shut it off.
Maybe I will make a schematic to visualize this... EDIT:

How to install smoke/gas detectors

Created: 13 April 2011
A) Wired or wireless smoke detector
This smoke detector detects smoke by a couple of infrared diodes, which is suitable for detecting the
smoke in house, shop, hotel, restaurant, office building, school, bank, library and storehouse etc.
Due to this article is focusing on installation of gas detector, please check following article for installation of
smoke detector:
http://www.hkvstar.com/technology-news/how-to-install-fire-smoke-detector-where-to-install.html
B) Wired or wireless gas detector
1. Please confirm the induced gas is heavier than air, or lighter than air. The gas is heavier than air:
LPG etc. The gas is lighter than air: Natural gas, marsh gas and etc.
2. Choosing the suitable position to install the detector according to the gas specific gravity. Detecting the
gas heavier than air: Installation height from floor: 0.3-100m, Semi-diameter to gas source: <1.5m;
Detecting the gas lighter than air: Installation height from ceiling: 0.3-1.0m, Semi-diameter to gas source:
<1.5m

3. Fix the screw into the wall firmly, then hang the detector.
4. Avoid installing the detector close to the following sources of interference: Direct air flow from vents,
fans, doors, windows, sources of steam, oil vapor...etc.
5. All wires installation must accord with the National and Local effective laws and criteria. The wires must
have the suitable size and colorful marks for avoiding connecting error. And unsuitable connection of wires
will result in the alarm error while leaking happened.
6. Test: to test the installed detector while using independently or in network, you can give some gas
around in distance of 5cm to the gas convection holes by using un-ignition lighter. Testing frequently may
result in reducing the sensitivity of the detector. The alarm density of gas is set according with the criteria
of national standard. The detector will stop alarm and resume to the detecting state while the gas density
reduced to lower than the alarm level. The alarm output switches can connect with the hardwired alarm
system.
7. Maintenance: The user must brush and clean the gas convection holes with a little cleanser every three
months, and must retest the detector after cleaning for preventing the cleanser into the detector.
8. Handle the alarm: The gas detector alarms while the gas density in air exceed the alarm level. The
relative handle as below:
a. Shut down the tube valve right away.
b. Open the window and make the air flow rapidly.
c. Extinguish all fire sources and do not use anything can make fire: eg. lighters, matches,,, etc.
d. Avoiding open or close the power all kinds of electric equipment.
e. Check the reason of gas leaking, and notify the relative departments and professional person in time.
C) If you want to connect gas detector to hardwired alarm system, then connection diagram as

How to install fire smoke detector, where

to install ?
Created: 12 June 2011

The old idiom says Theres no smoke without fire. The basic fire alarm system is just a simple smoke
detector which can detect the smoke and set off alarm. Install smoke detector is the effective and low-cost
way to escape from fire disaster.
How install smoke detector is so important?
Reports from Emergency Management Agencys (FEMA) United States, Each year estimated 1,800 fatal
residential fires, and cause 2,636 deaths, 725 injuries, and $196 million in property loss in USA.
The reports also indicates that majority of fatal fires happen when people are asleep, due to unaware of
the fire and without enough time to escape.
We think that many of countries with high rate of fatal fires than USA, due to lock of management and
without adequate investment (fire equipment) from government.
How smoke detector works?
Smoke detectors are mounted on the top of floor for 24 hours working, and when it detect the smoke
(intense), it will make sounds and flashing to alert people, also it is connecting with an alarm system, then
it will go through alarm system and report to Central Monitoring Station.
Where should install the smoke detector?
Smoke detector should be installed on each of rooms (bedrooms, storage room, reading roometc) and
the corridor, as well as the lobby. When install smoke detector, you need to place them on the center of
top ceiling, if you want to install on the wall, then they should be installed below the ceiling 6-12 inches.

What types of smoke detector I can choose?

There are major three kinds of smoke detector for usage.

Standalone smoke detector: working as a single unit, detection of smoke, then buzz and flash
alarm.

Hardwired smoke detector: working as a single unit and using cable to connect with hardwired
alarm system (can be burglar alarm system or fire alarm panel).

Wireless smoke detector: also can work as a single unit, but it is using wireless technology to
connect with wireless alarm system (only burglar alarm system, as we know, we cant find
wireless fire alarm panel so far).

Tips when install smoke detector

1.

Dont install smoke detector near the path of bathroom and kitchen equipment. These place are
easily cause false alarm.

2.

Dont install smoke detector near the doors, windows, air conditioner.

3.

Monthly test and check smoke detector for insuring they can work correctly.

4.

Replace the battery each a year. Most of smoke detector with low-voltage alarm function, when
smoke detector start to flash, then you need to replace the battery.

5.

Many people are thinking get a set of burglar alarm system for theirs residential. Before purchase
burglar alarm system, please add extra smoke detectors for your fire alarm.

Fire Prevention Tips:

1.

When people are doing cooking, always be there.

2.

Dont put the catch-fire material near the heat sources

3.

Dont smoking inside of house, after smoking, dumping cigarette butts in the trash, make sure
smoke is extinct?

4.

Carefully handle and operation the electronic device, especially for heat generated device. Any
problem on electricity, turn to professionals help.

What to Do in Case of Fire:

1.

Do not be panic; stay calm.

2.

Leave the building as quickly as possible. Touch doors to feel if they were hot before opening
them. Use an alternate exit if necessary. Crawl along the floor, and do stop to collect anything.

3.

Meet at a pre-arranged meeting place outside the building.

4.

Call the fire department form outside the building.

5.

Do not go back inside a burning building. Wait for the fire department to arrive.

Note: These guidelines will assist you in the event of a fire, however, to reduce the chance that fires will
start, practice fire safety rules and prevent hazardous situations
