Physical installation
This section describes how to install the recorder.
Installation environment
When installing your product, consider these factors:
• Ventilation
• Temperature
• Humidity
• 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 NVR units.
Humidity: 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.

Playback functionality
The recorder lets you quickly locate and play back recorded video. There are three ways to play
back video:
Web bro wser
TruVision Navigator
TVRmobile
You can search video by specific time, events, motion detection, bookmarks, or snapshots (see
Chapter 7 “Searching files” on page 33 for further information)
The recorder continues to record the live view from a camera while simultaneously playing back
video on that camera display. You must have the access privilege to play back recordings (see
“Customize a user’s access privileges” on page 101 for more information).
Overview of the playback view
The playback video can be set up to display a time/date stamp for evidentiary purposes (see
“Camera OSD” on page 54).
Note: Greyed out cameras are cameras that are not, or are no longer, connected to the
recorder. As such, they may not contain recordings. However, each channel can be selected
as channels that were connected in the past might still have associated video recordings.
