cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/apparatus combination to avoid injury from tip-over.
10. Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
11. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any
way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the
apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
12. DO NOT EXPOSE THIS EQUIPMENT TO DRIPPING OR SPLASHING AND ENSURE THAT NO OBJECTS FILLED WITH
LIQUIDS, SUCH AS VASES, ARE PLACED ON THE EQUIPMENT.
13. TO COMPLETELY DISCONNECT THIS EQUIPMENT FROM THE AC MAINS, DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY CORD
PLUG FROM THE AC RECEPTACLE.
14. THE MAINS PLUG OF THE POWER SUPPLY CORD SHALL REMAIN READILY OPERABLE.

6- NVR Overview
6.1- Features
Hexaplex Operation
Whether at home, on the job or sitting at the airport, the NVR along with Wirepath IP Cameras enables you to simultaneously
perform six system operations all at once:
oRecording
oLive Viewing
oPlayback
oStreaming to Control Systems (direct from Wirepath IP cameras)
oBackup/Archive
oRemote Access
Motion Detection
By defining areas of interest –like a door, driveway or window –you can define when to start recording video. Instead of recording
24/7, the NVR only records when there is motion.
Privacy Mask
Block out sensitive or privileged areas by placing rectangular blocks or "masks" over up to three installer-defined areas.
HDMI and VGA output
View content in HD from a local monitor or HD TV Display.
Bi Directional Audio
Sometimes listening just isn't enough. Audio inputs to the NVR enable you to talk to the person on the other end right through
Internet Explorer!
Alarm inputs and outputs (via Wirepath IP Cameras / Encoders)
Start recording when a motion sensor or alarm is triggered, or activate other devices when motion is detected on a camera.
Expandable Storage
Supports up to (2) Internal SATA HDDs, (1) 1TB HDD included
CMS (Central Management Software)
View multiple cameras or encoders, and NVR at once rather than logging in to each camera/encoder's IP address.
User Access Levels
2 levels of access, Administrators to configure NVR functions, and guests to view content.
