TECHNICIAN NOTES

WARNING: Only authorized technicians trained by Toshiba should attempt to repair this NVR. All troubleshooting and repair procedures that may be shown are for reference and minor repair only. Because of the complexity of the individual components and subassemblies, no one should attempt to make repairs at the component level or to make modifications to any printed wiring board. Improper repairs can create a safety hazard. And any indications of component replacement or printed wiring board modifications may void any warranty.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electrical shock or damage to the equipment:

Do not disable the power grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times.

Disconnect the power from the computer by unplugging the power cord either from the electrical outlet or the computer.

CAUTION: To properly ventilate your system, you must provide at least 3 inches (7.6 cm) of clearance at the front and back of the NVR.

SETUP OVERVIEW

The Setup options allow you to optimize your DVR by adjusting things like camera names, reboot schedules, recording schedules and more. It is extremely important that you setup your DVR correctly for several reasons.

Recording Schedules – By optimizing the recording schedule you can increase the amount of pertinent recorded video that is saved on the DVR and keep it longer. You can optimize the type of recording done by adding motion detection to this as well, again increasing the amount of useful video.

DVR Access – By setting up the access passwords you can tightly control the types of access an individual may have. This ensures the security and integrity of the DVR.

Camera Naming – By naming each camera you can easily identify the location and any other pertinent information that may be helpful simply by viewing it on the Video Display Area.
