Usage
Precautions
Important Information About
Safety
• Be sure to connect the unit to a power
source that conforms fully to the
electrical specifications of this unit.
• Use only the supplied power cord and AC
adapter. Do not coil the power cord or
bundle it with other cords. Do not piggy
back connections. If current ratings are
exceeded, there is a risk of fire and other
accidents.
• Do not use the unit with the cover or case
opened or removed. Otherwise there is a
risk of fire and electric shock. Do not
attempt to open or remove the cover or
case yourself. Always consult your
supplier if opening is necessary.
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 stack units or place the unit
on other objects that generate heat
When one unit is stacked on top of another
unit, the heat generated by both units can
get extremely hot. Do not stack units on top
of each other or place the unit on other
objects that may generate heat.
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 on
both sides as well as behind and above
the unit.
• Do not use the unit in a closed box or
other enclosure.
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.
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.
Usage Precautions

Transport
Use the original packing material or similar
packing to protect the unit from shocks.
even to very light shocks. After this period,
the hard disk will be fully stopped and the
unit can be manipulated.
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.
• Do not remove panels or outer parts of
the unit.
• 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
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, and battery of the unit are
consumable parts that will need periodic
replacement. When operating at room
temperature, the recommended
replacement cycle is 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 USB 2.0 Mass Storage
devices. However, it does not support
USB 2.0 Mass Storage HDDs or CD/
DVD drives. Do not connect mass
storage devices other than USB flash
memory devices to the unit. Be aware
that errors may still occur when writing
data to a USB 2.0 Mass Storage memory
device, depending on the type of device
used. If errors occur when writing data,
use a USB memory device of a different
type.
Usage Precautions
6
• 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.
Overview
The NSR-S10/S20 is a network
surveillance recorder for network cameras.
The server allows you to monitor and
record JPEG, MPEG-4, and H.264 images
from network cameras via the network. The
server also allows you to easily search for
and play back previously recorded images.
Manage and control compatible
cameras from remote locations
You can manage, control, and display the
images from up to four network cameras
with the NSR-S10, and up to eight network
cameras with the NSR-S20. You can pan,
tilt, and perform zoom operations of
compatible cameras.
Large-capacity hard disks allow
recording for long periods of time
Models with internal hard disks are
equipped with large-capacity storage that
enables recording for extended periods of
time. In addition, the unit allows you to
connect storage devices that support the eSATA interface.
Monitor from a browser
You can access the NSR from a browser,
which then can be used to monitor images.
Other features
• The NSR is capable of continuous
recording, motion detection, and alarm
recording, among others.
• Run searches for recorded images by date
and time, sensors, movement detection,
video signal loss, etc.
• Audio recording and playback

Cameras connected to the same segment on the network are automatically located and
registered to the NSR, and images from these cameras appear on the “Main” screen.
Screen example: NSR-S10
Continuous recording starts automatically after the cameras are registered.
Notes
• Only Sony cameras will be located and registered.
• Only cameras with IP address settings that have not been changed from factory default
conditions will be located and registered. To register cameras with IP addresses that
have been changed, return the camera IP address settings to default conditions and
restart the NSR.
• When there are multiple cameras connected, the cameras are registered in the order in
which they are located, and up to 4 cameras can be registered for NSR-S10 and up to
8 cameras for NSR-S20.
This completes connections.
You can now refer to the First Step Guide (PDF) to perform operation verification and
