Installation Guidelines
Water is the arch-enemy of electrical components and also poses a high risk of electric shock.
Dust has a tendency to build up inside the DVR case, leading to a high risk of failure or even fire.
•
Do not open the DVR case except to install/swap the hard drive or battery inside.
The DVR is as robust as possible, but many of the internal components are quite fragile.
Remember that the DVR is, in all likelihood, going to be left on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Keep
•
This product contains a removable battery. If you need to replace or dispose of the internal battery.
The battery is located on the mainboard of the DVR. It is a primary lithium CR2032 button cell.
To access, remove and/or replace the battery:
Ensure the DVR is turned OFF. NEVER open the DVR's case while power is connected.
•
•
Remove the five screws holding the cover on the DVR.
•
If replacing the battery, ensure that it is an exact match for size, type and capacity.
•
Be sure to safely dispose of the battery. The process for battery disposal/recycling varies from
location to location, please check with the relevant local authority for method.
Do NOT attempt to open, puncture, disassemble or modify the battery in any way.
•
Do NOT subject it to sudden shock or heat.
•
•
Do NOT dispose of battery in fire.
Many larger televisions and monitors feature plasma screen technology. While plasma offers large images at high
contrast and resolution, it can be susceptible to image burn in. Burn in occurs when a static image is displayed for so
long that the screen remains discolored when the image is no longer shown. CCTV systems are one of the leading
causes of image burn in, as typically static images are displayed almost constantly while the system is on.
We recommend LCD or LED screens be used with the DVR, as these types are typically resilient. However, all screen
technology suffers from some level of burn in (or burn out, depending on its type), so always exercise common sense
and caution.
Some other ways to limit burn in include:
•
Using the auto-sequence mode to change the channel being monitored. Remember that the time/date/title
overlays may still burn in if they're in similar positions over each image.
•
Turn down the brightness/contrast of the screen you're using – the less raw power the screen is using to display
images, the lower the chance of burn in.
•
Turn the screen off when the DVR is not in use. This will not only extend your screen's life, but will also help the
environment and help cut your power bill. It's win-win-win, really.

•
Do not expose the DVR to moisture.
•
•
Only install the DVR in a well ventilated space.
Like all electronics, the circuitry and hard drive in the DVR produce heat,
and this heat needs a way out.
There are no other user serviceable parts inside.
•
Never open the case whilst the DVR is plugged in,
and never plug in or turn the DVR on whilst the case is open.
•
Use only the supplied power adapter.
Other adapters may cause damage to the DVR or cause a fire.
•
Do not cut or modify any cable for any reason.
Doing so will void your warranty, and pose a risk of fire or electrical shock.
•
Do not expose the DVR to sudden bumps or shocks
this in mind when choosing a location for installation.
