Check item standard
Moisture-resistant The relative environment humidity must be in the range from
5% to 95%. If the humidity is higher than 95%, a dehumidifier
must be installed, such as an air conditioner with the
dehumidification function or a dedicated.
Dehumidifier. In addition, water seepage, water dropping, and
dew forming and not allowed.
Dustproof If the office block is near the source of dust, such as the
colliery, country install for the offices, and anti-burglary and
fireproofing doors must be installed for the equipment room.
Lightproof The device must be installed in the environment that is not
shined by a strong light, delaying the aging of the device
enclosure.
Installation notice
During the installation, please notice:
NVR power input voltage is DC12V（±5%）. The supply voltage must meet the
input voltage, can’t be higher or lower.
NVR installation should be kept horizontal.
NVR installation should avoid direct sunlight, and keep away from heat and high
temperature environment.
Make sure connects NVR with other equipment’s normally.
Install the Hard Disk when use NVR first time.
NVR can automatically identify the hard drive capacity, support current market
mainly models. But for NVR work stable we advise to use good brand hard disk.
Others
Please use a soft and dry cloth to clean NVR, do not use chemical solvents.
Don’t put other things on NVR.
