Important Information About Installation

Locations for use/storage

To prolong the life of the product, avoid use or storage
in the following locations.

• Locations that can become extremely hot or cold. (Be
sure to use the unit that conforms fully to the
specifications of this unit.)

• Locations exposed for an extended time to direct
sunlight, and locations near heating appliances. (Note
that the temperature in a closed car in summer can
exceed +50 ºC/+122 ºF.)

• Locations with high levels of humidity or dust

• Locations subject to strong vibrations

• Locations subject to strong magnetic fields

• Locations in the vicinity of radio or TV transmitters
creating a strong magnetic field

Do not block the ventilation openings

• The ventilation openings on the sides of the unit serve
to prevent internal heat buildup. Always leave a
clearance of at least 10 cm (4 inches) on both sides as
well as behind and above the unit.

• Do not use the unit in a closed box or other enclosure.

• Make sure that there are no cables or other objects in
the vicinity of the fan opening on the rear of the unit.
If the opening is blocked, internal heat buildup can
occur, leading to the risk of fire and damage.

• Also when the unit is installed in a rack, you must
make sure that the fan opening on the rear as well as
the ventilation openings on the front are not blocked
by cables or other objects. Do not install the unit in an
environment where the above requirements cannot be
met.

Use the unit in a horizontal position

• The unit is designed to be operated in a horizontal
position.

• Do not install the unit on a slanted surface, and protect
the unit from shocks.

• When the unit is dropped or otherwise subject to
strong shocks, it can be seriously damaged.

• When installing the unit in a rack, make sure that a
horizontal position is maintained. If the unit is not
properly levelled, malfunction may occur. Also, it is
highly recommended to properly anchor the rack to a
wall or similar, so that it cannot topple over.

Maintenance

• Before cleaning the unit or performing any other kind
of maintenance, be sure to disconnect the power cord
from the AC outlet.

• For cleaning, lightly wipe the cabinet and panels with
a dry cloth. To remove stubborn stains, lightly moisten
the cloth with a mild, neutral detergent and wipe with
a dry cloth afterwards.

• Do not use cleaning alcohol, solvents, benzine,
insecticide, or any other volatile substances, because
these may damage the finish and lead to discoloration.

• Dust can accumulate in the ventilation openings on the
front of the unit. When removing the dust, make sure
that you do not subject the unit to shocks or vibrations.

Transport

Use the original packing material or similar packing to
protect the unit from shocks.

Precautions for products with built-in
HDD

This unit has a built-in hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD
is a precision device. If subject to shock, vibration, static
electricity, high temperature or humidity, data loss can
occur. When installing and using the unit, closely
observe the following precautions.

Protect from shocks and vibrations

When subject to shocks or vibrations, the HDD can be
damaged and loss of data on the HDD can occur.

• When transporting the unit, use the specified packing
material. When transporting on a dolly or similar, use
a type which does not transmit excessive vibrations.
Excessive shocks and vibrations can damage the
HDD.

• Never move the unit while it is powered. Also before
removing or inserting the unit in a rack, make sure that
power is off.

• Protect all HDD-equipped devices in the rack from
shocks.

• Before removing or inserting the unit in a rack, make
sure that power to any other HDD-equipped devices in
the rack is also switched off.

• Do not remove panels or outer parts of the unit.

GB

Usage Precautions

3

• When placing the unit on a floor or other surface,
make sure that the unit is equipped with the specified
rubber feet, and put the unit down carefully. If there
are no feet, mount the rubber feet first.
Do not place the unit near other devices that may
become a source of vibrations.

Wait for 30 seconds after turning power off

For a brief interval after the power is turned off, the
platters inside the HDD will still keep spinning and the
heads will be in an insecure position. During this
interval, the unit is more susceptible to shocks and
vibrations than during normal operation. For a period of
at least 30 seconds after turning power off, avoid
subjecting the unit even to very light shocks. After this
period, the hard disk will be fully stopped and the unit
can be manipulated.

Temperature and humidity related precautions

Use and store the unit only in locations where the
specified temperature and humidity ranges are not
exceeded. (Be sure to use the unit that conforms fully to
the specifications of this unit.)

When HDD seems to be faulty

Even if the HDD is showing signs of malfunction, be
sure to observe all the above precautions. This will
prevent further damage from occurring until the problem
can be diagnosed and corrected.

Replacement of the HDD and other consumable
parts

The HDD, fan, and battery of the unit are consumable
parts that will need periodic replacement. When
operating at room temperature, a normal replacement
cycle will be about two to three years. However, this
replacement cycle represents only a general guideline
and does not imply that the life expectancy of these parts
is guaranteed. For details on parts replacement, contact
your dealer.

Precautions for using USB devices

• This unit supports standard USB 2.0 Mass Storage
devices. Depending on the type of USB 2.0 Mass
Storage device, however, errors may occur when
writing data to the device. If errors occur when writing
data, use a USB flash memory device of a different
type.

• To ensure proper operation of USB devices, do not
connect the devices via a USB hub. Connect the
devices directly to the USB connectors on the unit.
Operation is not guaranteed when devices are
connected via a USB hub, USB switch, or extension
cable.

Protect data from power interruptions

If the power supply is interrupted while the unit is in
operation, data may be damaged. Always use an
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect data.

Overview

The NSR series is a network surveillance server for
network cameras. The NSR series allows you to monitor
and record JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264 images from
network cameras via the network. It also allows you to
search and play back recorded images, making the NSR
a truly versatile monitoring system.

Control compatible cameras from remote
locations

You can pan, tilt, and perform zoom operations of
compatible cameras.

Compatible with analog cameras

You can monitor and record images from analog
cameras by connecting them directly to the unit

1) The NSR-1200/1100 requires an NSBK-A16/A16H
(optional) expansion, while the NSR-1050H has a built-in
NSBK-A16.

Large-capacity hard disks allow recording for
long periods of time

Equipped with large-capacity hard disks, the unit is
capable recording high-quality images for extended
periods of time. For reference examples, see “Reference
Data for Installation” (page 10).

Slim type (2U), space-saving 19-inch rack
mounting model

With the optional rack mounting kit (sold separately),
the unit can be installed in a standard universal pitch EIA
19-inch rack.

High-resolution up to 480 fps (VGA, JPEG)
recording

The NSR-1200 can support up to 64 cameras, the NSR­1100 can support up to 32 cameras, and the NSR-1050H
can support up to 20 cameras. The NSR-1200 records

and JPEG image format

(1 frame about 31 KB) for a crisp image quality.

1) Maximum frame rate when 16 cameras are connected to the
recorder. Each camera has a frame rate of approximately 30
fps. This frame rate may become less because of
fragmentation on the internal hard disks. Values are based
on Sony measurements. These values are not guaranteed, as
performance may change due to the user’s operating
environment.

2) In QuadVGA resolution (1,280 × 960), the frame rate is 1/
4 that of VGA resolution.

High reliability

The NSR-1200 supports RAID 5

Overview

1) RAID 5 is a system for dividing and storing data and parity
(error correcting codes) onto more than one hard disk drive.
Although this system allows continued operation should
one of the hard disks malfunction, it does not guarantee
restoration of lost data. In addition, due to high internal
processing loads during reconstruction after you replace
the malfunctioned hard disk, the unit may not be able to
record images at the configured recording rate while
reconstruction is in progress.

Other features

• Custom layout support allows you to display images

in a variety of different layouts in addition to standard
2 × 2 and 3 × 3 layouts.

• The NSR is capable of manual, scheduled, and alarm

recording, among others.

• The NSR is equipped with a motion detection function

1)

via the recorder

(Video Motion Detection

. Dynamic masking covers pan, tilt, and

zoom.

• Precise alarm processing is made possible by

performing the various types of filtering

3)

that use the
image processing results sent from the camera in the
form of object information metadata. Because filtering
can be applied to metadata that has already been
recorded, you can also search for areas of interest after
recording is finished.

• Audio recording and playback

4)

are also supported

from compatible cameras.

1) Some functions are limited depending on the number of
cameras connected.

2) Some functions are limited depending on which camera
models are connected.
