INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on your purchase of the Color Quad Processor from Lorex.

The Color Quad Processor turns any monitor into a Quad monitor with security features. Connect up to four

cameras to the Quad Splitter and view all four locations simultaneously in Real-Time (30 fps). The Quad

Processor is an ideal security solution for small to medium sized commercial enterprises as it allows you to

use an existing monitor as a 4 Channel Observation System.

Connect the Quad Processor to a Time Lapse VCR or DVR to capture footage and enable alarm recording.

You can also connect PIR motion sensors to the Quad Processor in order to have Motion Detection

capability.To learn more about this system or to find out more about other products available, please visit

ALARM AND VIDEO LOSS

When an Alarm occurs, you will see the icon appear on the channel where motion detection is taking

place. If you have set the Internal Audible Alarm to ON, then you will also hear a Buzzer.

A Channel that does not have a camera connected will show the icon,

indicating a Video Loss. The red LED light above the channel with a Video Loss

will blink. If you have set the Internal Audible Alarm to ON, then you will also

hear a Buzzer when video is disconnected.

The Event List, available from the Menu and shown to the right, lists occurrences

of Alarms and Video Loss.

RS232 REMOTE PROTOCOL

The RS232 / Alarm input allows you to control the Quad Processor system from your PC. In order to

achieve this, you will require an RS232 COM Port communication program installed on your PC. There are

many of these software programs available on the internet, some of which are free.

The remote connection on the Quad Processor uses 8 data bits, 1 start bit, and 1 stop bit.

Below is an example of the data stream with the control codes shown.

The PC keyboard simulates the Quad Processor’s keypad. For example, pressing “V” will make the Quad

Processor go to VCR mode. Note that the letters are case sensitive. Below is a list of corresponding keys,

and their codes:

For further instructions on connecting the Quad Processor to your PC’s RS232 port, please refer to
