It is important to leave a clearance of 10cm around the chassis. The clearance is required to
ensure an adequate airow through the chassis to ventilate heat.
To ensure normal operation, maintain ambient airow. Do not block the airow around chassis
such as placing the system in a closed cabinet.

A local console requires the following:
1. A monitor or TV is connected via an HDMI cable.
2. A mouse and/or a keyboard are connected to the system.
3. It is presumed that the system has not been congured yet. The Installation wizard only
appears for an uncongured machine or one that was restored to its default.
Follow the onscreen messages to complete the initial conguration:
1. When started for the rst time, the system will prompt for the forceful conguration of a
password. This ensures security from malicious network attack.
The applicable alpha-numeric characters are [0-9][a-z][A-Z][!][$][%][-][.][@][^][_][~], with a
max. length of 64 characters.

IMPORTANT:
Except in the initial setup, changing system time can produce disruptions to the existing
recordings. Turning the current system time back to a time when video recording was taking
place can generate duplicate les. And those les may not be playable.
3. The system will then start to scan the local subnet for connected cameras.
4. All cameras detected on the network will be automatically listed. If necessary, deselect the
cameras you want to exclude from the conguration.
Cameras properly installed in the same subnet should all be listed. If you cannot nd a
camera, examine its network connections or network conguration.

1. The resolution and fps (frame rate per second) of stream 1 may vary depending on the
specications of different cameras.
2. Up to two clients viewing 2x 720P streams is acceptable. If more clients are simultaneously
viewing more video streams, the machine can be stressed.
NOTE:
Although the system supports MAC Binding, the system should be able to detect VIVOTEK's
cameras within the network regardless of the presence of a DHCP server. Ideally, cameras
and the Receiver should reside in the same subnet. If a camera's IP is changed for some
reasons, the system should be able to detect its new IP.
