CAUTION

z THIS PRODUCT HAS MULTIPLE-RATED VOLTAGES (110V AND 220V). MAKE

SURE TO SET THE VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH AT THE REAR PANEL TO PROPER VOL TAGE LEVEL OF YOUR REGION.

THIS PRODUCT USES A LITHIUM BATTERY. RISK OF EXPLOSION IF THE BATTERY ON THE MAIN BOARD IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS.

z THIS EQUIPMENT AND ALL COMMUNICATION WIRINGS ARE INTENDED FOR

INDOOR USE.

z TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THE UNIT

TO RAIN OR MOISTURE.

Rack Mount 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.

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)."

1. Introduction

1.1. Overview

A triplex MPEG-4 16-channel DVR, MyDVR1630/930 (myDVR930 Nine-channel model), features iCanTek’s powerful embedded RTOS (real time operating system).

While improving overall video quality, the MPEG-4 video codec (video coder/decoder), affords state of the art performance. MPEG-4 delivers uncompromised performance providing high compression plus high quality video images. Thus MyDVR1630/930 affords more days of recording between overwrite periods, while improving the quality of video images. Full triplex capability ensures uninterrupted recording. MyDVR1630/930 supports simultaneous:

1. Video Recording

2. Live Video Monitoring

• Locally via the front panel controls and monitor output

• Remotely via myNVR ™ Network Client

3. File archiving via USB 2.0 port

1. Video Recording

2. Remote Playback via network client application, myNVR™.

myNVR also supports powerful remote control features, including synchronized full duplex (bidirectional) audio communication.
