CAUTION
z THIS PRODUCT HAS MULTIPLE-RATED VOLTAGES (110V AND 220V). MAKE SURE TO SET THE
VOLTAGE SELECTION SWITCH AT THE REAR PANEL TO THE PROPER VOLTAGE LEVEL OF YOUR
REGION.
z THIS PRODUCT USES A LITHIUM BATTERY. THERE IS RISK OF EXPLOSION IF THE BATTERY ON THE
MAIN BOARD IS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO
INSTRUCTIONS.
z THIS EQUIPMENT AND ALL COMMUNICATION WIRING IS INTENDED FOR INDOOR USE.
z TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE OR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT EXPOSE THE UNIT TO RAIN OR
MOISTURE.
Rack Mount Instructions
A) Elevated Operating Ambience - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be
given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring.
Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable grounding of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use
of power strips)."

Port-Forwarding for Access from a WAN
When one or more DVRs are connected through a IP sharing device (i.e. router) to a larger network (i.e. the
internet), in order to access each unit from outside the local area network, each device must have a unique
RTSP (Real Time Stream Protocol) and HTTP port number. You must also configure your IP sharing
device for port-forwarding, so that each port, when accessed on the IP sharing device, will forward to the
appropriate DVR’s IP and or MAC address. The port number is listed next to the “Port” menu option in the
Network menu.
If you only plan to access multiple units from within a local area network

The ADSL modem connection must have an RJ-45 jack to connect to the DVR (USB Networking is not
supported).
Sharing an ADSL connection with other devices requires an IP sharing device such as router. In this case,
select LAN as the NETWORK type. Port-forwarding is required in order to access BGPS DVR through a
GATEWAY/Router and/or Firewall. See the documentation for your IP sharing device or contact your
