the instantaneous voltage will harm to the recorder.
4. The initial power will beyond 30W when the DVR connect with the Camera (the consumed power is
different due to the connect with different device), the power supply must beyond 30W.
5. The power cables must can stand beyond 60W.(For example, when the output voltage of car is 12V,the
power cables must can bear 5A or more).
6. Please put the cover on the cables, the cover must be wear-resistant, heat-resistant, water-proof,
grease-proof, in case of short circuit and open circuit.
