It will also cover the main screen icons explaining the different operations in both live and playback modes. Getting Started: Connect any 12Vdc camera into the rear panel of the Digital Vib. The four pin adapter ca- ble will provide video in as well as 12Vdc output along with audio in on channel one. Next, connect one of the supplied power adapters to the left side of the case. Note that the two pin connector is keyed and will only go in one way. Once power is supplied to the case, the Digital Vib will power on automatically. The voltage indicator should display between 11-15 volts, 12 being optimal. Once the startup screen disappears (usually within 15 sec- onds) the unit is ready for use. If the Digital Vib is left to the factory settings, once motion is detected through the cameras, the unit will start recording. The default password has been removed, so if a password is requested simply click the enter key. If the unit was or- dered as a Law Enforcement version with audio, note that audio is available on channel one only and to activate the audio channel press and release the small black button lo- cated between the mouse pad and USB port. Note: If the monitor does not display a picture, press and release the power button to the monitor.

The Quality & Frame Rate Setup changes the recording resolution, qual- ity and frames per second for each channel. The factory default setting is 720x480 on all channels for highest quality. If more record time is needed, reducing frame rate, resolution or quality will in- crease record time. The current settings should produce over 30 days of video with aver- age motion. Note that if you exceed the frame rate of the Digital Vib (240), the display showing frames will change to red indicating that you have exceeded the limit. 7 Event Setup: The event setup section is used for motion detection.
