• The information in this manual is believed to be accurate and reliable as of the date of publication. The information contained herein is subject to change without notice. Revisions or New editions to this publication may be issued to incorporate such change.

• We make no warranties for damages resulting from corrupted or lost data due to a mistaken operation or malfunction of the Digital Video Recorder, the software, the hard drives, personal computers, peripheral devices, or unapproved/unsupported devices.

Warning

• Do not block the ventilation opening or slots on the outer casing. To prevent the appliance from overheating, provide at least two inches of air space around the vent and the slots.

• Do not drop metallic parts through slots. This could permanently damage the Digital Video Recorder. Immediately turn off the unit or unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Contact a qualified service personnel authorized by your equipment distributor

• Do not attempt to disassemble or alter any part of the equipment that is not expressly mentioned or instructed in this guide. Disassembly or alteration may result in high voltage electrical shock. Qualified service personnel authorized by your equipment distributor should conduct appropriate inspections, alterations and repairs.

• Stop operating the equipment immediately if it emits smoke or noxious fumes. Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn off the unit, remove the power cable from the power outlet. Confirm that smoke and fume emissions have ceased. Please consult your DVR distributor.

• Stop operating the equipment if a heavy object is dropped or the casing is damaged. Do not strike or shake. Failure to do so may result in fire or electrical shock. Immediately turn off the unit or unplug the power cord from the power outlet. Please consult your DVR distributor.

• Do not allow the equipment come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids. Do not allow liquids to enter the interior. If the exterior comes into contact with liquids or salt air, wipe it dry with a soft, absorbent cloth.

Continued use of the equipment may result in fire or electrical shock. Please consult your DVR distributor.

• Do not use substances containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other flammable substances to clean or maintain the equipment. The use of these substances may lead to fire. Use a dry cloth on a regular periodic basis and wipe away the dust and dirt that collects on the device. In dusty, humid or greasy environments, the dust that collects around the ventilation or the slots on the outer casing over long periods of time may become saturated with humidity and short-circuit, leading to fire.

• Do not cut, damage, alter or place heavy items on the power cord. Any of these actions may cause an electrical short circuit, which may lead to fire or electrical shock.

• Do not handle the device or power cord if your hands are wet. Handling it with wet hands may lead to electrical shock. When unplugging the cord, ensure that you hold the solid portion of the plug. Pulling on the flexible portion of the cord may damage or expose the wire and insulation, creating the potential for fires or electrical shocks.

DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER

Caution

• Do not operate the appliance beyond its specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings. Do not use the appliance in an extreme environment where there is high temperature or high humidity. Use the device at temperatures within +0°C - +40°C (32°F 104°F) and humidity below 90 %. The normal operating power source for this device is 100V-240V AC 50/60Hz.

Preventing Malfunction

• Avoid Strong Magnetic Fields. Never place the DVR in close Proximity to electric motors or other equipment generating strong electromagnetic fields. Exposures to strong magnetic fields may cause malfunctions or corrupt image data.

• Avoid Condensation Related Problems. Moving the equipment rapidly between hot and cold temperatures may cause condensation (water droplets) to form on its external and internal surfaces. You can avoid this by placing the equipment in an airtight, reseal-able plastic bag and letting it adjust to temperature changes slowly before removing it from the bag.

• Stop using the equipment immediately if you detect condensation in the Digital Video Recorder. Continued use may damage the equipment. Remove the power cord from the power outlet and wait until the moisture evaporates completely before resuming use.

• Do not place the batteries near a heat source or expose them to direct flame or heat. Neither should you immerse them in water. Such exposure may damage the batteries and lead to the leakage of corrosive liquids, fire, electrical shock, explosion or serious injury.

• Do not attempt to disassemble, alter or apply heat to the batteries. There is serious risk of injury due to an explosion. Immediately flush with water any area of the body, including the eyes and mouth, or clothing that comes into contact with the inner contents of the battery. If the eyes or mouth contact these substances, immediately flush with water and seek medical assistance from a medical professional.

• Avoid dropping or subjecting the batteries to severe impacts that could damage the casings. It could lead to leakage and injury.

•

Do not short-circuit the battery terminals with metallic objects, such as key holders. It could lead to overheating, burns and other injuries.

When the system uses the same IP address every time it connects to the network, it is known as a static IP address. If the system’s IP address changes frequently, it is called a dynamic IP address. Check with your internet service provider to determine which IP address was given. This manual will guide users through the set up process for both types.

• STATIC IP: Edit IP address, Gateway and Subnet Mask.

CONFIG

• DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol automates the assignment of IP addresses, Subnet Mask, Gateway and other IP parameters. The DHCP should be selected in order to utilize DDNS (Refer to section 8-3 DDNS for more information).
