1 set SAFETY TIPS
1. Make sure the cameras and the monitors are properly connected to the NVR.
2. The NVR should be placed in a dust and moisture-free environment. It must never be directly
exposed to sunlight. Server room temperature is highly recommended to reduce the chance of
overheating, which may cause the NVR to become unstable.
3. During the boot-up process, the NVR should not be interrupted by pressing any buttons on
the mouse. Do not unplug the power adapter or turn the NVR off during the boot-up process.
4. A UPS (Uninterrupted Power Supply) is highly recommended to prevent damage to the NVR
during a power outage.
NOTE:
1. True HD monitor output and VGA output cannot be used at the same time for dual monitoring.
2. The audio input port at the NVR is disabled. For audio recording, use audio input supported ip camera.

3. To connect additional IP cameras to the NVR, connect a PoE switch to the NVR's network port.
