Product Application Diagram
Connect the unit with other devices as shown in the system diagram to
complete a video surveillance solution. The figure shows also the
expandability and flexibility of this digital recording system.
2. System Setup
The notices and introduction on system installation will be described
particularly in this chapter. Please follow the description to operate the
unit.

In order to prevent the unit from data loss and system damage that
caused by a sudden power fluctuation, use of an Uninterruptible Power
Supply (UPS) is highly recommended
2.1 Position the Unit
Firstly, note to position / mount the PIVTM Series MPEG-4 DVR in a proper
place and be sure to power off the unit before making any connections.
The placed location should avoid hindering or blocking the unit from
airflow. Enough airflow is needed to protect the unit from overheating. The
maximum allowable temperature of operating environment is 40°C.
The unit utilizes heat-conducting techniques to transfer internal heat to the
case, especially to the bottom side of the unit.
NOTE: Be sure not to remove the rubber feet, and always leave a
space for air ventilation on the unit’s bottom side.
2.2 Selecting Video Format
The PIVTM Series MPEG-4 DVR is designed to operate under either NTSC
or PAL video formats. Please contact with a qualified service person to

monitor to the unit for basic operation. If needed, connect a call monitor for
displaying full screen video of all installed cameras in sequence.
Connecting Short-term Device If you plan to install any short-term
devices to the PIVTM Series MPEG-4 DVR and use them as part of the unit
system, such as USB CD-ROM, USB Hard Disk Drive, etc. Make sure
connecting those devices only during the unit is powered up. Because
PIVTM Series MPEG-4 DVR can recognize the external devices only after
the power-up process is done completely.
