● Moving the Net DVR between two places with high difference in temperature will shorten the using life

● Please install the lightning conductor when the machine is used in frequent thunder areas

● The network shield twisted cable must be with magnetic ring

Net DVR

Cautions:

● Don’t touch the power switch or the Net DVR by wet hands.

● Make sure the machine a nd its case a re grounded (There is an earth interface on the back panel of the machine).

● Keep the power supplier stable to avoid abnormal power cutoff.

● Avoid droppi ng liquid or metal into machine that may cause short circuit or fire.

● Don’t record or playback until at least one HD D is installed.

● Short circuit would happen when moist dust is on the board , so user has to termly brush the board a nd other accessories to make the machine

work in good condition.

● Video/audio/RS485 devices cann’t be plug or draw when the power is on, or else the equipment will be easily damaged.

● Use the power on/off button on the front panel instead of direct shut off the power directly when tu rn off the Net DVR, so that the hard disk

won’t be damaged.

● DVR can scan the entered HDD automatically,if the HDD is the new one that is not formatted by DV R, t he system will prompt users to

format. (s ystem can support formatting, it will not depends on PC).

● Warning: Please don't try to connect the DVR HDD to PC if you are not professional person;The illea gal operations such as revise or

edit the file name, open the file and edit, copy back the recording data that was copied out before etc; and some third party browsing software

can modify the physics store location of files in the HDD at the ba ckstage;above operations will be lead to HDD record data cannot be

identificated and request formatting when connect the HD D.

● When hot swap the SATA hard disk, please plug in/out the data cable and power cable together.

● In order to keep the integrality of the records, damaged disks should be exchanged promptly. (There is information about the error of the

disk in the logbook.)

User Manual

3.1.1Attentions on Installing Hard Disk

1. Recommend high speed hard disk above 7200 rpm.

2. The capacity of the single hard disk is above 32GB at least, each HDD can max support 2000 GB.

3. The selection and calculation for capacity:

Total capacity= channels number * record time needed (hours) *capacity pe r hour (M/hour)

For example: If you choose the recording bit rate type for CBR 512KB (refer to 4.3 for bit rate types), the HDD Capacity /hour/channel=bit rate

(Mbps) * 3600s=512Kbps * 3600s=1800MBb=225MB (1MB=8Mb). Due to the various factors, the calculated r esult is for reference only. Some slight

differences or small errors might exist in the calculation.

Audio recording capacity is about 15MB per camera per hour. In order to save HDD space, we suggest c losing the audio except users mandatory require

audio recording. If you choose CBR record ing, the recording data will not differ from the bit rate o ption.

Notes: When HDD is full, the default set will let system overwri te the earliest recorded files,and t he free space will show 0M.

4. The attachments, such as data cable, power line, and hard disk are prepared well.

Notes: This series DVR don't support the hot s wap, please install the HDD and connect the data line first then plug the electricity in.
