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 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.

connected via a USB hub, USB switch, or extension
cable.
Overview
The NSR series is a hard disk recording server for
network cameras. The NSR allows you to monitor and
record network camera images (JPEG or MPEG-4). It
also allows you to play back the recorded images and
search through it, 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 (optional)
expansion, while the NSR-1050H has a built-in connector.
Large-capacity hard disks allow recording for
long periods of time
Equipped with large-capacity hard disks, the unit is
