VR-N1600_J.book Page 5 Wednesday, August 8, 2007 3:32 PM

Getting Started

Locations of Storage and Use

䢇Do not store the unit at the following places.

Doing so may cause the unit to malfunction or break

down.

●Hot or cold places beyond the allowable operating

temperature (5 I to 40 I)

●Humid places beyond the allowable operating humidity

(30%RH to 80%RH) (no condensation)

●Places that emit a strong magnetic field, such as near

transformers and motors

●Places near devices that emit radio waves, such as

transceivers and mobile phones

●Places with considerable dust and sand

●Places with strong vibrations

●Places where water droplets may be formed, such as

window sides

●Places with considerable vapor and oil, such as

kitchens

●Places that emit radiation, X-rays, and corrosive gases

䢇Using this unit and the cable that is connected to it near

places where strong radio waves or magnetic fields (such

as near radios, TVs, transformers, and monitors) are

emitted may cause noises in the video images or color

changes.

Handling Precautions

䢇Do not stack the devices on one another during use.

Heat and noise from the devices may cause the unit to

malfunction or break down, and lead to fire.

䢇Do not block the ventilation holes.

Doing so may cause heat to trap inside the unit and result

in fire. Do not use this unit by laying it down sideways,

upside down, or at an angle.

䢇Do not place objects on this unit.

Placing heavy objects, such as TV monitors, or objects

that are bigger in size on this unit may cause it to lose

balance and drop or fall, hence resulting in injuries.

䢇Do not stand or sit on this unit.

Doing so may cause this unit to fall or break down, and

result in injuries. Keep it out of the reach of young

children.

䢇Do not place objects with water (e.g., vases, flower pots,

cups, cosmetic products, and chemicals) on this unit.

Water may enter this unit and result in fire or electric

shock.

䢇Do not insert objects into this unit.

Metallic or other flammable objects that enter this unit

from the ventilation holes may result in fire or electric

shock.

Precautions for Handling Hard Disk Drive

䢇The distance between the head and the disk is only about

0.02 μm when the hard disk (henceforth HDD) is reading

the data. Vibration or impact that is exerted on the HDD

may therefore cause the head to hit against the disk,

hence causing the disk surface to dent or the disk to chip.

When this occurs, data may not be properly read, or in a

worse scenario, continued use in this condition may result

in head crash (damage). Careful attention must therefore

be paid when handling it.

䢇Precautions During Installation and Change of Installation

Location

Moving of this unit or installation work is strictly prohibited

when the power of this unit is on or immediately after the

power is turned off (approximately 1 minute). (The HDD

continues to move under its own inertia for some time

after the power is disconnected, and exertion of vibration

or impact during this interval may result in HDD failure.)

When moving this unit, wrap it using cushioning materials

to protect it from external shock.

䢇Handling Precautions

●Handle this unit carefully without exerting vibration or

impact on it.

●Do not remove the power plug during recording or

playback, or when the HDD is being accessed.

●The HDD is a consumable product. Perform

maintenance after it has been used for about 10,000

hours (about 1 year). (This value is based on its use in

an environment with a temperature of 25 I, and may

vary according to the environment of use.) For inquiries

on maintenance plans and expenses, consult your

nearest JVC dealer listed on the separate sheet.

䢇When installing an external hard disk, we recommend the

use of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to ensure the

stable operation of the system. [Connecting a UPS] (A

Page 112)

䢇Power failure that occurs during formatting or

disconnection of the HDD may affect its subsequent use

even when the UPS is connected.

䢇JVC shall not be held responsible for the compensation of

losses incurred in the event that recording or playback

fails due to defects in this unit or its hard disk drive.

●Images recorded on the HDD will be deleted when you

replace it with a new disk. Note also that recorded

images may be deleted when you upgrade the software

for this unit.

Precautions for Proper Use

of this Product

VR-N1600_J.book Page 6 Wednesday, August 8, 2007 3:32 PM

Precautions when Moving this Unit

䢇Remove all connected cords before moving

Turn off the power and remove the power plug before

moving this unit. Failure to do so may cause damage on

the cords, and result in fire or electric shock.

䢇Moving of this unit or installation work is strictly prohibited

when the power of this unit is on or immediately after the

power is turned off (approximately 1 minute).

The HDD continues to move under its own inertia for

some time after the power is disconnected, and exertion

of vibration or impact during this interval may result in

HDD failure.

䢇When moving this unit, wrap it using cushioning materials

to protect it from external shock.

䢇Handle this unit carefully without exerting vibration or

impact on it.

Precautions for Handling Power Cords

䢇Do not use the supplied cords on devices other than this

unit.

䢇Do not place heavy objects on the power cord, or place it

under this unit

Doing so may cause damage on the cords, and result in

fire or electric shock.

䢇Do not use cords other than those supplied with this unit

Use only power cords supplied together with this unit.

Using cords with different withstanding voltage

specifications or damaged cords may result in fire or

electric shock.

䢇Do not remove the power plug during recording or

playback, or when the HDD is being accessed.

Maintenance

䢇Turn off the power before performing maintenance of this

unit.

䢇Wipe this unit using a soft cloth. Wiping using thinner or

benzene may cause the surface to melt or fog. When the

surface is extremely dirty, wipe using a cloth that is dipped

into a neutral detergent diluted with water, followed by

wiping with a dry cloth.

Energy Conservation

䢇Turn off the power of the system for safety reasons and to

save energy if this unit is not to be used for a long time.

䢇Use of video or audio sound recorded using this unit for

commercial purposes or playing them for public viewing or

listening may be an infringement of the copyrights of their

respective authors under the copyright law.

䢇These video (audio) recordings shall only be restricted to

personal uses, and their use without prior consent of the

law.

Others

䢇When there is variation in the supply voltage such as

during lightning, operation of this unit may be disabled to

protect the system until the supply voltage stabilizes

again.

䢇Eliminate static electricity before performing work that

requires you to touch the input/output terminals, such as

when installing devices.

䢇Do not touch the rear panel of this unit when it is running

as static electricity may cause it to malfunction.

䢇When there is a large number of data recorded on this

unit, such as short alarm records, a longer time may be

required during search or backup. This is not a

malfunction.

䢇Data recorded from TV broadcasts or video (audio)

recordings shall only be restricted to personal uses, and

their use without the prior consent of the copyright holder

is strictly prohibited under the copyright law.

䢇The width of the border lines (black in color) of images on

the split screen varies according to the type of input

signals. This is due to the characteristics of the camera’s

input signals, and is not a malfunction. The condition may

also be improved by adjusting this unit. For details, consult

your nearest JVC dealer.

䢇This unit comes with a high-precision hard disk device. Be

careful not to exert vibration or impact on this unit when

handling it.

䢇Exertion of vibration or impact particularly when the power

is on or when the hard disk is being accessed may cause

this unit to break down.

䢇When moving this unit, do so about 1 minute after

disconnecting the power supply.

䢇Do not turn off the power switch at the rear of this unit or

unplug the power cord during recording or playback, or

when the hard disk is being accessed. Otherwise, it may

break down.

When this device is used as a general household,

there is a possibility of radio disturbance to the

radio and television receiver etc.

Note :

●Do not connect LAN1 to the internet. If the internet is busy

or the relay equipment fails, you may not be able to save

important camera images. To maintain full recording

capacity, it is recommended that a dedicated network be

used. Be sure to connect the LAN1 camera network to the

same segment. (Do not use the address translation of

NAT and NAPT etc. or a router.)

●If you connect LAN2 to the internet from a surveillance

computer, you will need to configure IP Masquerading.

●Communication between LAN1 and LAN2 is not possible.

Nor is it possible to configure a camera connected to

LAN1 from the surveillance computer connected to LAN2.

In order to configure a camera connected to LAN1, it is

necessary to connect the computer for configuring

cameras to LAN1.

●LAN1 and LAN2 are incompatible with QoS. Sound may

not be played normally depending on the condition of the

circuit.

default LAN2 IP address is 192.168.1.253. To change the

address, use [OS Setting] (A Page 64).

●When a single network camera is registered with multiple

units of VR-N1600U/E, recording may not be properly

completed in some cases. Camera control (e.g. PTZ

control) may also become unstable. It is recommended

that a single VR-N1600U/E be used for registering one IP

camera as well as for controlling PTZ operations.

Applications

To specify settings on camera connection, you first need to

add the required devices, such as network cameras or

network encoders (IP video servers), to the system. Devices

have their own IP addresses and host names. The system

identifies the devices based on their IP address or host

name.

Memo :

●Even though each device is managed using a unique IP

address or host name, in cases such as when multiple

analog cameras are connected to a network encoder (IP

video server), a multiple number of cameras may be

connected to a single device and thus share the same IP

address or host name. Although several cameras are

connected to one device in this case, this unit manages

the cameras on an individual basis.

●In addition to the network camera and network encoder

(IP video server), you can also add a number of dedicated

I/O (input/output) devices to the system. You can

configure and use the event settings for the I/O devices in

the same way as cameras.

●When a device is added to the system, it is listed on the

[Camera Recording Administator] screen. To add a new

device, follow the procedure below. Firstly, configure the

IP address and password of the device according to

instructions in the camera manual.

●You cannot add a camera for which there is user access

restriction. For details on access restrictions, refer to the

camera’s “Instruction Manual”.

●If the camera is registered with the user access restriction

set to ON, the camera is registered with access restriction

and unable to display live images unless the settings are

changed.

1 Select [Camera Record Setting] from the main

2 Click [Add Device...]

●The [Device Setup Wizard] screen appears.

3 Enter the IP address or DNS host name that can

be identified by the system

●To enter the DNS host name, select the [Use DNS host

name] check box and click [Next].

Note :

●The Ahttp port 80B followed by AFTP port 21B are used by

default. To use a different port, click [Port Setup] and

specify the required port numbers. You may need to

specify a different port if the device is located behind a

NAT router or firewall. In this case, configure the router or

firewall so that it maps the ports and IP address used by

the device.

4 If an administrator password is specified for the

device, enter the password

●The password is usually set to [root] or [admin].

●Click [Next] without specifying [Autodetect Device].

5 Enter a unique name for the device that has

been detected

●The device is listed in the [Device Manager].

6 Click [Finish]

●To view the list of cameras connected to the device,

click the plus (+) sign to the left of the device name.

Memo :

●The camera names are set as [Camera1], [Camera2],
