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)."

HOST NAME – Hostname for the DVR on the network. NETWORK TYPE – STATIC IP (User must manually define a static IP
address. Contact your network administrator for this information.) DHCP (System gets IP address automatically from a DHCP server.) IP ADDRESS – DHCP or Static. Contact your network administrator for this information. 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
over the web and view video. If this port is changed then the new port must be defined when attempting to web connect (ex: if your DVR IP address is 10.0.0.5 and you change the web port to 800, then you 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. ID – Username for the DDNS server account. PASSWORD – Password for the DDNS server account. STATUS – Checks DDNS settings by attempting to communicate with the
DDNS Server.

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.
