System components and Installation

Requirements for installation and safety

This chapter is for the requirements for safe installation and use. This kit should be installed on a flat table or in a rack. The location in which the DVR is installed in the room is very important for proper operation of the system. When the DVR is installed too closely together or the location is poorly ventilated, the DVR may not operate properly and maintenance of the DVR may be difficult. Make sure that the air should be sufficiently circulated within the system operating room and the cover of the main system must be tightly fastened to prevent malfunction. There are high voltage parts inside. Do not open the cover during operation. The DVR must be installed in a place that meets the following environmental conditions.

• Operating temperature: 5°C ~ 40°C (41°F ~ 104°F)

• Operating humidity: 30% ~ 90% RH

• Input voltage: DC +12V 5A

• Power usage: About 25Watts

• Frequency: 60Hz/50Hz

Main replacement parts

• Hard disk (When HDD is factory-installed.): 1 year (25°C/77f environment)

• Cooling fan: 1 year (25°C/77f environment)

• Battery: 2 years (25°C/77f environment)

CAUTION

During the operation of this product, the fluctuation of input voltage must be within 10% of the rated voltage and the external power outlet must be grounded, otherwise, it may cause electric shock or malfunction of the product.

VT-H Series



Do not connect heat-generating appliances to the same power outlet in which the product is plugged, otherwise it may cause a fire or malfunction of the product. The use of an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) is highly recommended to ensure that stable power is supplied.

CAUTION

The HDD that is installed in DVR can be replaced or upgraded by and authorized VITEK Repair Center. Warranty will be void if unit is opened by unauthorized personnel.

Figure 2.5.1. Network setup screen

2-5-1. Ports

When you connect one or more DVRs to a local network through a Router, each DVR must have a unique TCP port number to access it from outside the LAN. In this type of setup, the Router must be configured for port forwarding so that each DVR can be accessed from outside the network. Port Forwarding on the Router is needed to forward the connection to the appropriate DVR. Note: This port number is listed next to the Port menu option in the Network Setup screen. If you plan to access the DVR units only from within the same LAN, the TCP port does not need to be changed.

Network Access Beyond Router

In order to access beyond a Router (Firewall), user must open 1 TCP port for Command level, Live channels, and Storage channels. If this port is not open properly, user will not be able to access the DVR beyond a router. Example: If the DVR set’s port number is 5445, TCP port 5445 must be open on the Router.

2. Router/Modem: In a local network environment, an IP address is assigned to the DVR by either a Router or Modem. If an IP address is provided by a router, either the DMZ function or Port Forwarding must be enabled (on the router) to access the DVR from outside of the LAN.

3. An IP address must be entered for the DVR along with the subnet mask and Gateway (gateway is usually the IP address of the router). The DNS Server IP can be the same address as the gateway unless there is one

In a DHCP environment, the IP Address is automatically assigned by a DHCP server. With DHCP enabled, the DVR will automatically ‘request’ an IP Address from the DHCP Server. This configuration is useful when the

The ADSL setting is used when the PPPoE protocol (ISP authentication) is required by the ISP and the DVR is directly connected to the internet (without a Server or Router).

A User Name (ID) and Password issued by the ISP is required. If you are using a Router or you have a static IP address from your ISP and you are using a modem/Bridge, use the DHCP or LAN option.
