Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction or break
down.
● Hot or cold places beyond the allowable operating
temperature (5 I to 40 I)
● Humid places beyond the allowable operating humidity
(30%RH to 80%RH) (no condensation)
● Places that emit a strong magnetic field, such as near
transformers and motors
● Places near devices that emit radio waves, such as
transceivers and mobile phones
● Places with considerable dust and sand
● Places with strong vibrations
● Places where water droplets may be formed, such as
window sides
● Places with considerable vapor and oil, such as
kitchens
● Places that emit radiation, X-rays, and corrosive gases
䢇 Using this unit and the cable that is connected to it near
places where strong radio waves or magnetic fields (such
as near radios, TVs, transformers, and monitors) are
emitted may cause noises in the video images or color
changes.
Handling Precautions
䢇 Do not stack the devices on one another during use.
Heat and noise from the devices may cause the unit to
malfunction or break down, and lead to fire.
䢇 Do not block the ventilation holes.
Doing so may cause heat to trap inside the unit and result
in fire. Do not use this unit by laying it down sideways,
upside down, or at an angle.
䢇 Do not place objects on this unit.
Placing heavy objects, such as TV monitors, or objects
that are bigger in size on this unit may cause it to lose
balance and drop or fall, hence resulting in injuries.
䢇 Do not stand or sit on this unit.
Doing so may cause this unit to fall or break down, and
result in injuries. Keep it out of the reach of young
children.
䢇 Do not place objects with water (e.g., vases, flower pots,
cups, cosmetic products, and chemicals) on this unit.
Water may enter this unit and result in fire or electric
shock.
䢇 Do not insert objects into this unit.
Metallic or other flammable objects that enter this unit
from the ventilation holes may result in fire or electric
shock.
Precautions for Handling Hard Disk Drive
䢇 The distance between the head and the disk is only about
0.02 μm when the hard disk (henceforth HDD) is reading
the data. Vibration or impact that is exerted on the HDD
may therefore cause the head to hit against the disk,
hence causing the disk surface to dent or the disk to chip.
When this occurs, data may not be properly read, or in a
worse scenario, continued use in this condition may result
in head crash (damage). Careful attention must therefore
be paid when handling it.
䢇 Precautions During Installation and Change of Installation
Location
Moving of this unit or installation work is strictly prohibited
when the power of this unit is on or immediately after the
power is turned off (approximately 1 minute). (The HDD
continues to move under its own inertia for some time
after the power is disconnected, and exertion of vibration
or impact during this interval may result in HDD failure.)
When moving this unit, wrap it using cushioning materials
to protect it from external shock.
䢇 Handling Precautions
● Handle this unit carefully without exerting vibration or
impact on it.
● Do not remove the power plug during recording or
playback, or when the HDD is being accessed.
● The HDD is a consumable product. Perform
maintenance after it has been used for about 10,000
hours (about 1 year). (This value is based on its use in
an environment with a temperature of 25 I, and may
vary according to the environment of use.) For inquiries
on maintenance plans and expenses, consult your
nearest JVC dealer listed on the separate sheet.
䢇 When installing an external hard disk, we recommend the
use of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to ensure the
stable operation of the system.
䢇 Power failure that occurs during formatting or
disconnection of the HDD may affect its subsequent use
even when the UPS is connected.
䢇 JVC shall not be held responsible for the compensation of
losses incurred in the event that recording or playback
fails due to defects in this unit or its hard disk drive.
● Images recorded on the HDD will be deleted when you
replace it with a new disk. Note also that recorded
images may be deleted when you upgrade the software
for this unit.

Precautions when Moving this Unit
䢇 Remove all connected cords before moving
Turn off the power and remove the power plug before
moving this unit. Failure to do so may cause damage on
the cords, and result in fire or electric shock.
䢇 Moving of this unit or installation work is strictly prohibited
when the power of this unit is on or immediately after the
power is turned off (approximately 1 minute).
The HDD continues to move under its own inertia for
some time after the power is disconnected, and exertion
of vibration or impact during this interval may result in
HDD failure.
䢇 When moving this unit, wrap it using cushioning materials
to protect it from external shock.
䢇 Handle this unit carefully without exerting vibration or
impact on it.
Precautions for Handling Power Cords
䢇 Do not use the supplied cords on devices other than this
unit.
䢇 Do not place heavy objects on the power cord, or place it
under this unit
Doing so may cause damage on the cords, and result in
fire or electric shock.
䢇 Do not use cords other than those supplied with this unit
Use only power cords supplied together with this unit.
Using cords with different withstanding voltage
specifications or damaged cords may result in fire or
electric shock.
䢇 Do not remove the power plug during recording or
playback, or when the HDD is being accessed.
Maintenance
䢇 Turn off the power before performing maintenance of this
unit.
䢇 Wipe this unit using a soft cloth. Wiping using thinner or
benzene may cause the surface to melt or fog. When the
surface is extremely dirty, wipe using a cloth that is dipped
into a neutral detergent diluted with water, followed by
wiping with a dry cloth.
Others
䢇 When there is variation in the supply voltage such as
during lightning, operation of this unit may be disabled to
protect the system until the supply voltage stabilizes
again.
䢇 Eliminate static electricity before performing work that
requires you to touch the input/output terminals, such as
when installing devices.
䢇 Do not touch the rear panel of this unit when it is running
as static electricity may cause it to malfunction.
䢇 When there is a large number of data recorded on this
unit, such as short alarm records, a longer time may be
required during search or backup. This is not a
malfunction.
䢇 Data recorded from TV broadcasts or video (audio)
recordings shall only be restricted to personal uses, and
their use without the prior consent of the copyright holder
is strictly prohibited under the copyright law.
䢇 The width of the border lines (black in color) of images on
the split screen varies according to the type of input
signals. This is due to the characteristics of the camera’s
input signals, and is not a malfunction. The condition may
also be improved by adjusting this unit. For details, consult
your nearest JVC dealer.
䢇 This unit comes with a high-precision hard disk device. Be
careful not to exert vibration or impact on this unit when
handling it.
䢇 Exertion of vibration or impact particularly when the power

Preparation
System Connection
Example (continued)
Note :
● Do not connect LAN1 to the internet. If the internet is busy
or the relay equipment fails, you may not be able to save
important camera images. To maintain full recording
capacity, it is recommended that a dedicated network be
used. Be sure to connect the LAN1 camera network to the
same segment. (Do not use the address translation of
NAT and NAPT etc. or a router.)
● If you connect LAN2 to the internet from a surveillance
computer, you will need to configure IP Masquerading.
● Communication between LAN1 and LAN2 is not possible.
Nor is it possible to configure a camera connected to
LAN1 from the surveillance computer connected to LAN2.
In order to configure a camera connected to LAN1, it is
necessary to connect the computer for configuring
cameras to LAN1.
● LAN1 and LAN2 are incompatible with QoS. Sound may
not be played normally depending on the condition of the
circuit.
● The default LAN1 IP address is 192.168.0.253 and the
default LAN2 IP address is 192.168.1.253. To change the
address, use [INSTRUCRTIONS].
● When a single network camera is registered with multiple
units of VR-N1600U/E, recording may not be properly
completed in some cases. Camera control (e.g. PTZ
control) may also become unstable. It is recommended
that a single VR-N1600U/E be used for registering one IP
camera as well as for controlling PTZ operations.
● Do not connect a broken hub, router or deteriorated
network cable etc. Doing so may prevent the system from
operating properly.
● Connection to a keyboard is not recommended.
During Initial Startup
Perform language setting and automatic camera registration
when starting up
Before Starting Up.
● The DHCP setting is required for the IP camera
beforehand. Start up the VR-N1600U/E first, then switch
the camera on after confirming that the [Auto Detect
Setting] window is displayed.
● Refer to the user manual supplied with the camera for
instructions on how to specify the IP camera settings.
● By default, [Time Zone] is set to [(GMT-05:00) Eastern
Time](VR-N1600U)/[(GMT) Greenwich Mean Time](VRN1600E) and [Auto Summertime Adjustment] is
checked. Specify a Time zone according to the region
