covers. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Contact qualified service personnel for
maintenance. Handle the appliance with care. Do not strike or shake, as this may damage the
appliance.

 Do not expose the appliance to water or moisture, nor try to operate it in wet areas. Do take immediate

action if the appliance becomes wet. Turn the power off and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel. Moisture may damage the appliance and also may cause electric shock.

 Do not use strong or abrasive detergents when cleaning the appliance body. Use a dry cloth to clean

the appliance when it is dirty. When the dirt is hard to remove, use a mild detergent and wipe gently.

 Do not overload outlets and extension cords as this may result in a risk of fire or electric shock.
 Do not operate the appliance beyond its specified temperature, humidity or power source ratings. Do

not use the appliance in an extreme environment where high temperature or high humidity exists. Use
the DVR at indoor type temperatures within 0°C~40°C (32°F~104°F) and at relative humidity between
20%~80%. The input power source for this device is 12VDC though a power supply which operates
from100~240VAC.

 Read Instructions

All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the unit is operated.

 Retain Instructions

The safety and operating instructions should be retained for future reference.

 Heed Warnings

All warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions should be adhered to.

 Follow Instructions

ii

Unplug the unit from the outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners, abrasive or aerosol
cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning

 Attachments

Do not use attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.

 Water and Moisture

Do not use this unit near water-for example, near a bath tub, wash bowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub,
in a wet basement, near a swimming pool, in an unprotected outdoor installation, or any area which is
classified as a wet location.

 Servicing

Do not attempt to service this unit by yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to
dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

 Power Cord Protection

Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items
placed upon or against them, playing particular attention to cords and plugs, convenience receptacles,
and the point where they exit from the appliance.

 Object and Liquid Entry

Never push objects of any kind into this unit through openings as they may touch dangerous voltage
points or short-out parts that could result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the
unit.

"Rack Mount Instructions - The following or similar rack-mount instructions are included with the installation
instructions:

A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should
be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature
(Tma) specified by the manufacturer.

B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.

C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition
is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.

D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.

iii

y

E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use
of power strips)."

ATTENTION! This is a class A product which may cause radio interference in a domestic environment; in
this case, the user ma

be urged to take adequate measures.

1 PRODUCT O VERVIEW

Begin your migration to the High Definition revolution in CCTV technology without changing your
installation methods. For definitive identification in critical areas, capture scenes with stunning HD

clarity; for traditional applications connect standard definition analog CCTV cameras. Carry uncompressed
full motion MEGAPIXEL DIGITAL and analog NTSC video back to their respective inputs on the

ENDEAVOR HD+SD DVR over standard coaxial cable*! Attach familiar BNC connectors to both HD-CCTV

and analog cameras and to the ENDEAVOR HD+SD DVR, then display live and recorded images in

astounding detail on the HDMI main monitor screen. HD-CCTV with up to 6 times the resolution of the
analog cameras delivers the ability to zoom with clarity. HD images are so detailed, each sends a 1.5Gb/s
uncompressed digital video signal over the coax; the Endeavor HD – 2H14 DVR can process that total of

3Gb/s from 2 HD-CCTV cameras, as well as the video from 14 analog cameras, for live viewing and H.264
recording at HD resolutions of 1080p (~2 megapixel @ 15 fps/camera) or 720p (~1 megapixel @ real time

30fps/camera), plus real time 30FPS at D1 recording capability on all 14 analog cameras. Dedicated

mega-bandwidth coax signal paths from each HD camera to this HD Hybrid DVR eliminate the need for
compression, addressing, and complex network design.

The ENDEAVOR HD+SD DVR is a powerful, full featured, embedded DVR with all the capabilities, familiar
front panel controls, user friendly mouse driven Graphical User Interface, plug-and play ease of installation
and setup and proven, reliable Linux based operating system that you expect from a state of the art
EverFocus DVR. More than that, it is designed and built in our factory, backed by our Support Team, and
carries our standard three year DVR warranty (including the hard drives). Start adding some High Definition
Security Surveillance to your systems at your own pace, with a name you know and trust: the ENDEAVOR
HD+SD DVR from Everfocus Electronics puts the future in your hands – TODAY!

*Up to 500’ nominal for digital signals on RG59; more with lower loss cable and/or optional repeaters.
