INTRODUCTION Section 1

The Response 4 Channel DVR provides a total video security solution for 4 channel digital surveillance supporting duplex (simultaneous playback and record) functionality.

The DVR’s front panel buttons or mouse can operate all DVR menu settings.

SAFETY AND INSTALLATION TIPS:

Do not attempt to open the DVR unit with the power adaptor plug connected to avoid any risk of personal injury.

When installing CCTV camera(s), always follow manufacturer’s advice when using power tools, steps, ladders, etc. and wear suitable protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles) when drilling holes. Before drilling holes through walls check for hidden electricity cables and water pipes. The use of a cable/pipe detector is advisable.

When installing any cameras with this unit, it is advisable to use cable conduit to protect any video/power extension cables from being exposed externally and to prevent/reduce the chances of the cables being tampered with. After drilling any hole though an external wall for a cable, ensure the hole is sealed up around the cable using a sealant to prevent drafts.

To prevent a fire or electrical shock hazard, do not attempt to open the housing while the unit is exposed to rain, water or wet conditions. There are no user serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

Please read before you start:

Always use discretion when installing CCTV surveillance equipment especially when there is perceived policy. Enquire regarding local regulations applicable to the lawful installation of video recording / surveillance. Third party consent may be required.
