WARNING: The DVR uses the time and date to index video on HDD that is how you find and view the images later. Changing time and
date can cause the DVR to work improperly when you try to play back video. If you set the hour ahead, this is not a problem. But if yo u set
the hour back there will be more than one recording at same time. Therefore, you need to be careful to date and time setting. I f the time is
incorrect when you install the unit, then we recommend you to set the time immediately.

3.2.2 System Shutdown

To turn off the power, press the power button for proper shutdown of the system. Do not turn off the power by pulling the power plug.

Caution

In case the power plug is pulled off while the system is operating, the currently recording file may not be closed properly. In
addition, even though index file is not damaged, index information required for quick file search may be not saved. Therefore,
turn off system power by pressing the power button to prevent malfunction.

3.2.3 Countermeasures after abnormal shutdown

The DVR has been designed to operate for long periods without a problem.

The operation of the system can be locked up however, when major parts (such as hard disk) function abnormally due to external electric
shock, physical damage, or other various reasons.

The system stops operating during abnormal situations, and the internal watchdog circuit is activated in order to reset the system for
rebooting within 10 seconds. The system will then recover normally. However, if major parts (such as hard disk) are physically damaged, it is
impossible to recover normally. This will cause continuous rebooting by watchdog or deadlock without reset.

3.2.4 Heart Beat Function

There are occasions where system does not come back from the failure even after reset. For example, from effect of strong surge or ESD
into the system can cause system halt and not be able to function. To prevent the occurrence of such cases as above, DVR has applied
Heart Beat Module into DVR’s inner architecture. If DVR encounters complication within 1 or 2 minutes then the Heart Beat function rush
out forward. Heart Beat function is working; means it has ability to put power off and on. If Heart Beat is operating properly then, Heart Beat
will automatically turn power off and on the system accordingly.

DVR are originally designed and developed for installing in automotive purpose. Therefore, our units obtain much more solid system than
other CE approved products. Also, DVR surge resistance level is much higher. Therefore, when there is strong surge or system halt attempt
to defect our product’s performance, Heart Beat will be there to bring the system back to normal.

5.2.5 Installing USB 2.0 External HDD Drive with EZUSB

Our DVR hard-drives can be accessed through USB port by using EZUSB.

By simply attaching it directly to an inner-rack of hard-drive-rack, a normal IDE hard-drive can be transformed into an external hard drive.

Please follow below instruction to read the image from the HDD by using EZUSB.

1. Unlock the removable HDD rack with key provided with DVR.

2. Lift up the handle and take out removable HDD from the DVR.

3. Plug the HDD rack into USB external HDD drive as shown below.

4. Connect the power cable and USB cable. The power cable supplies power to the hard-drive with its 12V adapter, and USB cable
exchanges data between hard-drive and PC. (Power adapter is required since hard-drives require more power than USB cable provides.)

There are two status LEDs on the EZUSB. The green LED in the first picture shows whether the power is connected and the blue LED
blinks when the hard-drive is accessed.

5. Connect the USB cable into any USB ports on the PC. By using EZUSB, our DVR IDE hard-drives can be easily connected to laptop or
desktop computers with USB port even though there are no hard-racks to be connected. If the computer supports USB2.0, the data can be
transferred as fast as 480Mbps.

6. After installing our DVR Reader from the CD that came with our DVR, connect the hard-drive to computer using EZUSB as shown above.
Once the hard-drive is connected properly, execute DVR Reader.exe on the desktop and the images from the hard-drive can be viewed.

* See DVR Reader Program Manual before you use the program.

6. Network Setup

In order to use remote viewing by software, DVR Manager, you will need to set up the following four operations. Please follow the instruction
below in step by step.

1. NAMEIP SERVICE SIGN UP

2. DVR’s DDNS SETTING

3. IP SHARING ROUTER SETUP (Only if you use IP Sharing Router)

4. DVR Manager (Remote Viewing Program)

6.1 What is DDNS?

DDNS provides a static domain name to those who have high-speed connections or use leased lines with a dynamic Internet Protocol
address.
A dynamic IP address resolves the problem stemming from the limited number of IP addresses. A dynamic IP address is given to users of
high-speed networks service and cable modems. Recently, even businesses that connect to the web through leased lines use DHCP d ue t o
depletion of IP addresses. Almost all the PCs have a dynamic IP address, which means that their IP address changes every time users turn
on their computer or log on to the Internet.
Domain Name Service (DNS) translates a domain name like www.yahoo.co.kr into a numeric IP address. However, the DNS system works
only with static IP addresses. For this reason, most of PCs with a dynamic IP address cannot provide various Internet services such as
running a homepage.
Using a dynamic DNS server, NameIP Service enables all the PCs with a dynamic IP address to have a domain name.
