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 head 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.

1) Infrared (IR) Extender Port: By default the NVR has a built-in IR receiver on front panel, allowing you to use the
remote control. However, if the distance between the remote control and the NVR is too large, you need to
install an IR extender into the IR extender port.
NOTE: The IR extender is not included.
2) HDMI Output: This is considered as the main output of the NVR. We recommend using this output for the best
available video output quality.
• For ulmate result, use a Full HD 1080p-capable monitor/TV.
NOTE: Please be noted that in many cases the TV which can display 1080p resoluon is not always a Full HD. In
reality they downscale a 1080p signal to the resoluon of the screen. For the best image quality, we recommend
to use a monitor/TV that can display a resoluon 1920 x 1080 or higher.
3) Audio Output: The supplied camera does not support audio recording. For normal operaon, the Audio Output
is not required.
4) VGA Output: If an HDMI monitor is not available, use this connecon to connect to a PC monitor using VGA
connecon.

5) USB 2.0: Connect here an external HDD or a ash disk where you can backup footage.
NOTE: You can also congure the Cloud Storage for saving the snapshot on a me and moon interval to an o-
site cloud storage. See “Using Cloud Storage” on page 29.
6) Alarm and Sensor I/O Port: Here you can connect 4 external alarm sensors and an alarm output device, for
example a siren.
7) WAN Port: This port is for connecng the NVR to the network, usually directly into the network switch or router.
8) LAN 1 ~ LAN 4 Port: These ports are for the main video input from the IP cameras. When connecng the IP
camera(s) to these ports, make sure to use the supplied Ethernet (RJ45) cables. The channel labels of the ports
appear in the same order as they are shown on your NVR’s interface.
9) Power Input: Connect here the supplied power adapter cable.
10) Power Switch: Switch to turn ON/OFF the NVR.
