Chapter 3Equipment Installationand Illustration
3.1 Installation Environment and Cautions
Installationenvironment:
●Normal working temperature is -10℃-55℃.Storagetemperature is -10℃-70℃
●The equipment mustkeephorizontal either ininstallation oron using
●Avoidinstallingin high temperature or humidityconditions
●Heat release fans areplaced forcool down, soyoushould put the deviceonventilated place
●The backofNet DVR shouldbe placed 6cmawayfromthe other deviceorwall whileinstalling
●Moving the NetDVR between two places withhighdifference intemperature willshorten the usinglife
●Please install the lightningconductorwhen the machine is used in frequent thunder areas

15
NetDVR
●Don ttouchthe power switch orthe Net DVR bywet hands.
●Makesure the machine and its case are grounded(There is an earth interfaceonthe backpanel ofthe machine).
●Keepthe power supplier stable to avoidabnormal power cutoff.
●Avoid droppingliquid ormetal intomachine thatmaycause short circuit orfire.
●Don trecord orplaybackuntil at least oneHDD is installed.
●Shortcircuitwouldhappenwhenmoistdustisonthe board ,so userhasto termly brush the board and other accessoriestomake the machine
workingoodcondition.
●Video/audio/RS485devices cann tbeplugor drawwhen the powerison,or else the equipmentwillbeeasily damaged.
●Use the poweron/offbuttonon the front panel instead of directshut offthe powerdirectlywhen turn offthe Net DVR, so that the harddisk
won tbe damaged.
●Afterinstallation, machinecanautomatically detect harddisk.Ifan unformatted hard diskisdetected,systemwill giveoffinformation
whether to format the disk.Foraused dick,please delete the used partitionin PC, orsystemmeight haveerrors. The systemonlysupports FAT32
file format.
●When hot swap the SATAhard disk, please plugin/out the datacable and power cable together.
●In order to keepthe integralityoftherecords, damaged disksshouldbe exchanged promptly.(Thereis information about the errorofthe
diskin the logbook.)

3.1.1Attentionson InstallingHard Disk
1. Recommend highspeed hard diskabove7200rpm.
2. The capacityofthe singlehard diskis above32GB at least, each HDD can max support 2000 GB.
3. The selection andcalculation forcapacity:
Total capacity=channels number *recordtime needed (hours)*capacityper hour(M/hour)
Forexample: Ifyou choose the recordingbitratetype for CBR 512KB (referto 4.3 forbit ratetypes), the HDDCapacity /hour/channel=bit rate
(Mbps)*3600s=512Kbps*3600s=1800MBb=225MB(1MB=8Mb).Due tothe variousfactors,the calculatedresultisfor referenceonly.Someslight
differences orsmall errors might exist in the calculation.
Audio recordingcapacityis about15MBper camera per hour.Inorder to saveHDDspace, we suggestclosingthe audio exceptusers mandatoryrequire
audiorecording.Ifyouchoose CBR recording,the recordingdata will not differ fromthe bit rate option.
Notes: When HDD isfull, the default set will let systemoverwritethe earliest recorded files,and the free space will show 0M.
4. The attachments, such asdata cable, powerline, and hard diskareprepared well.
Notes: ThisseriesDVR don't support the hotswap, pleaseinstallthe HDD and connectthe data line first then plugthe electricity in.
3.2Package Checking
After openingthe box,pleasecheckthehost computerwhether itisdistortedor mangled. Ifthere have,please donot use it and contactyour
suppliers in time. Meanwhile, please checkall accessories ofthe host computer; doread the attached informationcarefully.( Notes: Accessories as
