2.6 Mounting
The DVR may be placed on a flat surface, such as a shelf, or it can be installed in a
19-inch (48.26 cm) equipment rack.
• FLAT SURFACE MOUNTING
Before placing the unit on a flat surface, attach the rubber feet (supplied) to the bottom
of the DVR. The unit may scratch the surface if the rubber feet are not installed.
• EQUIPMENT RACK MOUNTING
To install the unit in an equipment rack:
1.Attach the handles to the rack ears using four of the Phillips flat head screws
(provided). Refer to Figure.
2.Remove the top screw and bottom screw from the left and right side of the DVR.
Remove the side plates. Refer to Figure.
3.Use the screws removed from the sides of the DVR and attach the rack ears to
the unit. Refer to Figure.
4.Use four of the supplied 10-32 x .75-inch black screws and finishing washers
and mount the assembly to a 19-inch (48.26 cm) rack or console. Installation
of the assembly may require two persons. We recommends 1RU spacing
between units.
IMPORTANT: Slots and openings in the cabinet provide ventilation and prevent it from
overheating. Do not block these openings. Never place the DVR near or over a radiator
or heat register. Do not place it in a built-in installation, such as a rack, unless proper
ventilation is provided or distributor instructions have been followed.

Remote DVR access
NOTE
The method in operating the DVR client is identical to that of the DVR server. The client
has access to all capabilities including surveillance, search, pan/tilt and set-up.
Limits in remote DVR access
1) The remote program compresses the image data, therefore the image may not be as
clear, and can not provide real-time video due to bandwidth limitations.
2) With a modem, the user can view one frame every 3 seconds, therefore in order to
minimize the delay, the user should convert to 1x1 layout.
3) With remote pan/tilt, because of the lag in time, the user would be better off using
a faster connection.
4) The user can not remotely access the DVR server backup capability.
5) The user can not remotely reset any of the DVR server programs.
(Changing of camera type, focus, activate/non-activate, and network name)
The DVR server’s performance is affected when a client is connected.
When not in use, please end the connection.
