Physical installation
This section describes how to install the recorder.
Installation environment
When installing your product, consider these factors:
• Ventilation
• Temperature
• Humidity
• Chassis load
Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the unit is
well ventilated.
Temperature: Consider the unit’s operating temperature (-10 to +55 ºC, 14 to 131 °F) and
noncondensing humidity specifications (10 to 90%) before choosing an installation location.
Extremes of heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits may reduce the life
expectancy of the recorder. Do not install the unit on top of other hot equipment. Leave 44 mm
(1.75 in.) of space between rack-mounted NVR units.
Humidity:Do not use the unit near water. Moisture can damage the internal components. To
reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
Chassis: Equipment weighing less than 15.9 kg (35 lb.) may be placed on top of the unit.

When you receive the product, check the package and contents for damage, and verify that all
items are included. There is an item list included in the package. If any of the items are
damaged or missing, please contact your local supplier.
