Safety Informaon
Warning
This is the symbol for indicang any potenal hazard,
risk or condion requiring special aenon.
The user needs to refer to the important operang
and maintenance or servicing instrucons.
Cauon
The lighng ash with an arrow head symbol, in an
equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user.
There is dangerous “voltage” presence near by the
product’s enclosure which may be risk of person.
Safety Precauons
• Do not touch live electrical parts.
Electric shock can be avoided. Follow the
recommended pracces listed below. Faulty
installaon, improper grounding, and incorrect
operaon and maintenance of electrical equipment
are always sources of danger.
• Do not try to install equipment outdoor, during strong
wind and rain.
• Do not install or remove equipment outdoor, when
raining.
• Do not try to install or operate any equipment, during
a thunderstorm.
• Always ground all electrical equipment and the work
plaorm.
Prevent accidental electrical shocks. Connect power
source, control cabinets, and work plaorm to an
approved electrical ground.
• Always use the correct cable size.
Sustained overloading will cause cable failure and
result in possible electrical shock or re hazard. Work
cable should be the same rang as the factory.
• Always keep cables and connectors in good condion.
Improper or worn electrical connecons can cause
short circuits and can increase the chance of an
electrical shock. Do not use worn, damaged, or bare
cables.
• Always avoid open-circuit voltage.
The added voltages increase the severity of electric
shock hazard.
• Always wear insulated gloves while you adjust
equipment.
Electric power should be turned o and insulated
gloves should be worn when making any equipment
adjustment to assure shock protecon.
• Always wear protecve clothing such as long
sleeve shirts while you are installing or removing
equipment.
• Always wear high, snug ng shoes.
• Always wear clean clothes without grease or oil.
• Protect neighboring workers from exposure to arc
radiaon.
• Always wear long trousers or jeans while you are
installing or removing equipment.
• Always wear safety helmet or hard hat and safety
shoes before work.
• Always keep the equipment in dry places.
• Always wear safety harnesses/belt while you work in
high places.
• Always wear dry clothing and avoid moisture and
water.
• Always wear Public Safety Vest, while you work at
night.
• Make sure all electrical connecons are ght, clean,
and dry.
• Make sure that you are well insulated to eliminate
electric stac charge.
• Always wear dry gloves, rubber-soled shoes, or stand
on a dry board or plaorm.
• Always follow recognized safety standards.
• Always wear correct eye, ear, and body protecon.
• Always have second person on-site, while you work in
dark, poor venlaon, or high places.
• Make sure that you are well protected against arc
ashes, mechanical injury, or other mishaps.
• Make sure that the polarity of wire is correct before
installing equipment.
• Always handle equipment with care.
• Do not block the venlaon of equipment.
• Do not put the magnec parts around the equipment.
• Do not put the objects on top of the equipment.

General Seng
It is very important that the me and date are set correctly. In case of a robbery, for example, the video footage can
be used as an evidence in the court, and if the date and me do not match, the footage is not regarded as a legimate
evidence.
Date and Time: The current date and me are displayed on the screen. To change the date and/or me, you need to
click on the corresponding eld and do the modicaons via the on-screen keyboard.
Date Format: Choose how you would like the date to appear on the screen. We recommend to use the standard
formats in your locaon.
Time Format: Choose how you would like the me to appear on the screen. The available opons are 24-hour format
or 12-hour format (AM/PM).
Language: Choose the preferred language you wish the menu items to appear on your NVR.
Flicker: Choose 50 Hz or 60 Hz, depending on your geographical locaon.
Menu Time Outs: Choose the preferred menu me out. If you want to disable this feature, choose OFF.
Click Next Step to move to the next window.
Network
Network sengs should be congured if you want to connect to the NVR remotely for live viewing or for example, if
you want the NVR to synchronize the date and me automacally.
PPPoE / DHCP / Stac: Select the network type you are using. The most common types are DHCP or Stac. Most
probably your network type is DHCP, unless the network is manually addressed (usually called- Stac).
NOTE: If your network type is Stac, ask your ISP for assistance on determining the IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway,
and DNS 1/2 server. If your network type is DHCP, your NVR will obtain the connecon parameters, like IP address,
Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS 1/(2) automacally.
Client Port and HTTP Port: For me being, keep the default port values. Client and HTTP ports are important for
accessing the NVR remotely from a PC via HTTP Interface or smart phone/tablet.
