Syetem Setup

Physical Installation Requirement

The notices and introduction on system installation will be described particularly in this chapter. Please follow

the description to operate the unit.

In order to prevent the unit from data loss and system damage that caused by a sudden power fluctuation, use

of an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is highly recommended.

2.1 Position the Unit

Firstly, note to position / mount the DVR in a proper place and be sure to power off the unit before making

any connections. The placed location should avoid hindering or blocking the unit from airflow. Enough airflow

is needed to protect the unit from overheating. The maximum allowable temperature of operating environment

is 40°C.

The unit utilizes heat-conducting techniques to transfer internal heat to the case, especially to the bottom side

of the unit.

NOTE: Be sure the rubber feet are not removed, and always leave a space for air ventilation on

the unit’s bottom side.

2.2 Select Video Format

2.3 Connect Devices to the Unit

This section lists some notices that should be given before making any connections to the DVR.

Connecting Required Devices

Before powering on the unit, cameras and a main monitor should be connected to the unit for basic

operation. If needed, connect a call monitor for displaying full screen video of all installed cameras in

sequence.

Connecting Short-term Device

- 11 -

If any short-term devices shall be installed to the DVR as parts of the unit system, such as USB

ThumbDrive

or any USB devices, etc., make sure those devices are connected only after the unit is powered

on. The reason is because the DVR can recognize the external devices only after the power-on process is

done completely.
