DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.
REFER SERVICING T O QUA LIFIED SER VI CE PER SON NEL.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
Safety Instructions – Rack Mount
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.
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)."

CLIENT CONFIGURATION – Set up the connection ports and Max transfer
speed for remote connections.
CENTER PORT – The HRDP uses the Center port and the primary
communication port to create remote connections. This port must be
the same as the port setting on the remote PC.
VIDEO PORT – The HRDP uses multiple ports to create remote
connections: the remote port is user defined (default 4000), and a
secondary port is automatically assigned (default 4002). The DVR
assigns the secondary port based on the remote port, in increments of
two. (ex: if you set the remote port to 4222, then the secondary port
will be 4224). Verify that all these ports are available when setting up
Network Address Translation (NAT) or firewall.

WEB PORT – Defines the port that Internet Explorer uses to connect

must type http://10.0.0.5:800 in your browser).
MAX TRANSFER SPEED – Set network bandwidth. This feature is
used for slower internet connections to throttle the amount of data the
DVR sends across the network at a time.
DDNS – DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) is a service that allows a
connection to an IP address using a hostname (URL) address instead of a
numeric IP address. Most Internet Service Providers use Dynamic IP
Addressing that frequently changes the public IP address of your internet
connection; this means that remote connections through HFVMS and HRDP
Remote would require frequent updates. DDNS automatically redirects traffic
to your current IP address when using the hostname address (i.e.
MyHRDP.HWDDNS.com).
DDNS SERVER – The current DDNS server.
HOST NAME – Hostname for the DDNS server account.

file formats are extremely common with universal computer support making
them ideal formats to use. A digital signature is also attached to every JPG
and AVI file exported by the DVR for use with the bundled Digital Verifier
application. This function is unique to the DVR and its verification software
and should not interfere with viewing the files using other applications.
JPG The format (JPG) is optimized for compressing full-color or
grayscale photographic images. JPG images are 24-bit (16.7
million color) graphics. JPG is used to export a single image or

Digital Verifier Overview
JPG images and AVI video files that are exported from the Digital Video
Recorder are automatically embedded with a digital signature. Digital
signatures are a way to verify the authenticity of the images to ensure that
they have not been tampered with or edited in any way. Included on the
Software Installation DVD, supplied with the DVR, is the Digital Signature
Verification program. This program can be installed on any Windows XP or
Windows Vista computer.
Using the Digital Verifier
1. Open the Digital Verification program by selecting Start > Programs >
HRDP > Digital Verifier > Digital Signature Verifier.
2. Click the Browse button to load the JPG image.
3. Enter the Site Code of the DVR that the image was originally extracted
from. (The Site Code is specified in the System Configuration Menu).
4. Click Verify to continue or Close to close the window without verifying.
If the image has not been
tampered with, a blue square will
appear around the image with the
message “Original image file.”
If the image has been tampered with, a
red square will appear around the image
with the message “Entire image
changed or wrong SITE CODE.”
