Important Safeguards

In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the manufacture process of your video product, safety is a major factor in the design of every instrument.

The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety.

If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet

If you are not sure of the type of power supply to your location, consult your video dealer or local power company. For video products intended to operate from battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions.

6. Overloading - Do not overload wall outlets of extension cords as this can result in the risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension cord s, fra yed po wer co rds, dama ged o r crac ked wi re insulation, and broken plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated insulation, have it replaced by your service technician.

7. Power-Cord Protection - Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the video product.

8. Ventilation - Slots and openings in the case are provided for ventilation to ensure reliable operation of the video product and to protect it from overheating. These openings must not be blocked or covered. The openings should never be blocked by placing the video equipment on a bed, sofa, rug, or other similar surface. This video product should never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register. This video product should not be placed in a built-in installation such as a bookcase or rack unless proper ventilation is provided or the video product manufacturer’s instructions have been followed.

9. Attachments - Do not use attachments unless recommended by the video product manufacturer as they may cause a hazard.

10. Camera Extension Cables – Check the ratin g of your extension cable(s) to verify compliance with your local authority regulations prior to installation.

Caution: Maintain electrical safety. Power line operated equipment or accessories connected to this unit should bear the UL listing mark of CSA certification mark on the accessory itself and should not be modified so as to defeat the safety features. This will help avoid any potential hazard from electrical shock or fire. If in doubt, contact qualified service personnel.

12. Accessories - Do not place this video equipment on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, or table. The video equipment may fall, causing serious damage to the video product.

15. Replacement Parts - When replacement parts are required, have the service technician verify that the replacements used have the same safety characteristics as the original parts. Use of replacements specified by the video product manufacturer can prevent fire, electric shock or other hazards.

16. Safety Check - Upon completion of any service or repairs to this video product, ask the service technician to perform safety checks recommended by the manufacturer to determine that the video product is in safe operating condition.

NETWORK EXAMPLE

When a computer on the Internet needs to send data to your internal network, it sends this data to the external IP address of the router. The router then needs to decide where this data is to be sent to. This is where setting up Port Forwarding becomes important.

Port Forwarding tells the router which device on the internal n you set up port forwarding on your router, it takes the data from the external IP address:port number and sends that data to an internal IP address:port number (i.e Router External IP

216.13.154.34 to DVR Internal IP 192.168.0.3:8090).
