Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation could damage the DVR. Read the following information carefully.
Moisture condensation might occur under the following circumstances:
When this product is brought directly from a cool location to a warm location.
When this product is moved to a hot and humid location from a cool location.
When this product is moved to a cool and humid location from a warm location.
When this product is used in a room where the temperature fluctuates.
When this product is used near an air-conditioning unit vent
When this product is used in a humid place.
Do not use the DVR when moisture condensation may occur.
If the DVR is used in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove any CD discs, connect the power cord of the DVR to the wall outlet, turn on the DVR, and leave it for two to three hours. After two to three hours, the DVR will warm up and evaporate any moisture. Keep the DVR connected to the wall outlet and moisture will seldom occur.
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)."

Connecting a PTZ Camera

The RS485 connector can be used to control Pan / Tilt / Zoom (PTZ) cameras.
See the PTZ camera manufacturer’s manual for configuring the RS485 connection.
Note Use the RS485 connector for external control systems such as a
control keyboard. Connect RX-/TX- and RX+/TX+ of the control system to the TX-/RX- and TX+/RX+ (respectively) of the DVR.

Connecting to a Sensor Input

To make connections on the Alarm Connector Strip: Remove the Alarm In
block from the DVR for easy access. Use a small screw driver to open the connection and insert the wire into the hole. To disconnect the wire loosen the connection with the screw driver and pull the wire out.
Alarm In
Use external devices to send a signal to the DVR when an event occurs. Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the Alarm In and Ground (GND) connectors.
Note All connectors marked GND are common. Connect the ground side
