2.System Setup

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.

2.1Position 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.

2.2Select Video Format

The DVR is designed to operate under either NTSC or PAL video formats. The switch is positioned on the rear panel.

2.3Connect 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.
