Notes on Moisture Condensation
Moisture condensation could damage the DVR. Read the following information carefully.
Moisture condensation might occur under the following circumstances:
When this product is brought directly from a cool location to a warm location.
When this product is moved to a hot and humid location from a cool location.
When this product is moved to a cool and humid location from a warm location.
When this product is used in a room where the temperature fluctuates.
When this product is used near an air-conditioning unit vent
When this product is used in a humid place.

Do not use the DVR when moisture condensation may occur.
If the DVR is used in such a situation, it may damage discs and internal parts. Remove any CD discs,
connect the power cord of the DVR to the wall outlet, turn on the DVR, and leave it for two to three hours.
After two to three hours, the DVR will warm up and evaporate any moisture. Keep the DVR connected to
the wall outlet and moisture will seldom occur.

Safety Instructions – Rack Mount
A) Elevated Operating Ambient – If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating
ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore,
consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the
maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow – Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading – Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous
condition is not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply
circuit and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply
wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this
concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g.
use of power strips)."

Save Clip
The DVR can export single images in the .JPG file format, save video clips in
the .AVI format, or output to a VCR using the s-video port. The .JPG and .AVI
file formats are extremely common with universal computer support making
them ideal formats to use. A digital signature is also attached to every .JPG and
.AVI file exported by the DVR for use with the bundled Digital Verifier
application. This function is unique to the DVR and its verification software and
should not interfere with viewing the files using other applications.
JPG:

The format (.JPG) is optimized for compressing full-color or grayscale
photographic images. .JPG images are 24-bit (16.7 million color)
graphics. .JPG is used to export a single image or frame.

AVI:

.AVI image data can be stored uncompressed, but it is typically
compressed using a Windows-supplied or third party compression
and decompression module called a codec. .AVI files save a video
clip.

Digital Verifier Overview
.JPG images and .AVI video files that are exported from the Digital Video
Recorder are automatically embedded with a digital signature. Digital
Signatures are a way to verify the authenticity of the images to ensure that they
have not been tampered with or edited in any way. Included on the Software
Installation DVD, supplied with the DVR, is the Digital Signature Verification
program. This program can be installed on any computer and loads an image
in question.

Using the Digital Verifier
1.

Open the Digital Verification program by selecting Start > Programs >
HRDP > Digital Verifier > Digital Signature Verifier.

Click the Browse button to load the .JPG image.

Enter the Site Code of the DVR that the image was originally extracted
from. (The Site Code is specified in the System Configuration Menu)

Click Verify to continue or Close to close the window without verifying.

If the image has not been tampered
with, a blue square will appear around
the image with the message “Original
image file.”

If the image has been tampered with,
a red square will appear around the
image with the message “Entire
image changed or wrong SITE
CODE.”
