Overview
1.1 Introduction
The new Zip range of IP cameras and NVRs has been designed with the CCTV
installer and end-user in mind; it’s simple to fit and very easy to use. Picture qualityis
superb with the Zip NVR range being able to record up to 4K.
Easy Fit CCTV
If you are looking to fit an IP CCTV system that really is about as easy as it can get
the ZIP IP system is for you. If you buy the ZIP IP cameras and ZIP PoE NVR, the
NVR will power the cameras down the CAT5/6 cable saving you the need or
inconvenience of a separate PSU for the cameras. This makes for an easy, rapid
installation that both looks neat and is effortless.
Types of NVR
There are two types of Zip NVR, a Power over Ethernet model “PoE” that powers
your IP cameras directly and a lower cost non-PoE model.
Typically you would use the non-PoE model where you cannot directly connect your
Zip IP cameras to the Zip NVR e.g on a large existing corporate network that you are
piggybacking onto. In this case, because the PoE will not go through an existing
network to power the Zip camera, the PoE switch becomes redundant so the non-
PoE model saves you money.
Not onlydoes the Zip PoE NVR power your cameras it will autodetect Zip IP PoE
cameras and auto-configures them for you. So you do not have the issue of having to
individually set new IP settings to match those of the router. Of course you can still do
this manually if you switch off this autodetect (Switch) function or if you are not adding

Zip PoE cameras. If you have a mixture of both Zip PoE cameras and other IP
cameras, you can set the autodetect (Switch) option first and connect the Zip PoE
cameras automatically, then switch the option off and add the remaining IP cameras
manually.

*Our NVRs take the latest 8 and 10TB sizes but we’ve based our table on a
maximum capacity drive size of 6TB as they currently represent the best value for
money.
1.3 Installation Guidlines
1. Never operate the equipment using an unspecified power supply.
2. Do not install the equipment in a dusty or damp area. Avoid a humid environment.
3. Keep the surface of the equipment clean and dry. Use soft damp cloth to clean the
outer case of recorder (do not use liquid aerosol cleaners.)
4. If the system clock fails to work, power down the recorder, remove the top of the
case and replace the standard 3V lithium battery on the main board.
5. Always install the recorder in a place with good ventilation ensuring that the
ventilation slots are not covered and that there is a good flow of air around the
recorder. Due to the heat produced especially by the Hard Drive/s, reducing
ventilation can reduce life of the recorder components and the Hard Drive/s.
6. The power adaptor on the recorder must only be used to power one recorder
because connecting additional equipment can cause the recorder to reboot due
to insufficient power.
