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.
