Physical installation

This section describes how to install the recorder.

Installation environment

When installing your product, consider these factors:

• Ventilation

• Temperature

• Moisture

• Chassis load

Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the unit is well ventilated.

Temperature: Consider the unit’s operating temperature (-10 to +55 ºC, 14 to 131 °F) and noncondensing humidity specifications (10 to 90%) before choosing an installation location. Extremes of heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits may reduce the life expectancy of the recorder. Do not install the unit on top of other hot equipment. Leave 44 mm (1.75 in.) of space between rack-mounted DVR units.

Moisture: Do not use the unit near water. Moisture can damage the internal components. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.

Chassis: Equipment weighing less than 15.9 kg (35 lb.) may be placed on top of the unit.

Unpacking the recorder and its accessories

When you receive the product, check the package and contents for damage, and verify that all items are included. There is an item list included in the package. If any of the items are damaged or missing, please contact your local supplier.

Using the IR remote control

The recorder is supplied with an infrared (IR) remote control unit. Like the mouse, it can be used to operate all of the main functions of the unit.

The IR remote control can be programmed with a unique device ID address so that the controller will only be able to communicate with recorders with that address. No programming is necessary if using a single recorder.

The device ID address only applies when using a remote control and not when using a keypad. You can purchase a replacement remote control by ordering part number TVR-REMOTE-1.

On the monitor you can see whether a recording is in progress and, if set up to do so, the current dat e and time, as well as the camera name.

Status information

28 TruVision DVR 44HD User Manual

The recorder can display more than one icon at the same time. See “General settings” on page 98 to display or hide the status icons. See “Alarm notification types” on page 93 and enable or disable the option “Display Event Icon”.

The system status is displayed on the front panel by the status LEDs.

Video output

The recorder automatically checks the monitor outputs used on startup. If more than one monitor is connected, it then defines which monitor is the main monitor and which is the event monitor. The event monitor is used to display detected events such as motion. Only one monitor can be controlled at a time.

If a HDMI monitor is used, it will be the main output. If HDMI and VGA monitors are both connected to the recorder, both will be main monitors; they will both show the same view.

See “Controlling live view” on page 28 for more information on setting up the monitors. Monitor A is the main monitor. When an alarm or motion is detected, the camera with the

alarm/motion event is displayed on monitor B. When there are multiple alarm or motion events, the camera images are sequenced on monitor B.

Live view mouse menu

Many features of live view can be quickly accessed by placing the cursor on a live image and clicking the right-button of the mouse. The mouse menu appears (see Figure 14 below).

Figure 7: The mouse menu for the main monitor

The list of commands available depends on which monitor is active; main or auxiliary (monitor B). See Table 7 on page 29. The default settings of these commands are provided in the appendix under “Default menu settings” on page 154.
