Precautions for Handling Hard Disk

Drive

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. 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,

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The HDD is a consumable product. Although it may vary

according to the environment of use, it is recommended to

replace the HDD after using for 18,000 hours in a

surrounding temperature of 25°C. (However, this is only a

reference time and not a guarantee for HDD life span.)

For inquiries on maintenance plans and expenses,

consult your nearest JVC KENWOOD dealer.

䢇When installing an external hard disk, we recommend the

use of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to ensure the

stable operation of the system.

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 KENWOOD 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.

䢇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.

Software Installation

䢇Do not install any software to this device other than the

provided application software. Otherwise, operations may

become unstable. Any malfunctions which arise in such a

case will not be covered under warranty.

Anti-virus

You cannot install anti-virus software on this unit. Instead,

prepare anti-virus by Windows Firewall or the router. In

addition, do not use Windows update.

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 amount 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 be restricted only to personal use, 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

our authorized dealers or JVC KENWOOD service

centers.

Consumable parts

The table below shows consumable parts for this unit. Repair

costs including fees for parts or replacement, or travel

expenses are charged even while this unit is under warranty.

●The maintenance cycle differs depending on the

conditions of use. The cycle above is applied when you

use this unit in 25°C environment.

●Consult our authorized dealers or JVC KENWOOD

service centers for details on the maintenance plan or

fees. (The list of JVC KENWOOD service center is

attached to this unit.)

●Windows Media Digital Rights Management.

Content owners use Windows Media digital rights management technology (WMDRM) to protect their intellectual

property, including copyrights. This software and third party software use WMDRM to play and copy WMDRM-protected

content. If the software fails to protect the content, content owners may ask Microsoft to revoke the software’s ability to use

WMDRM to play or copy protected content. Revocation does not affect other content. When you download licenses for

protected content, you agree that Microsoft may include a revocation list with the licenses. Content owners may require

you to upgrade WMDRM to access their content. Microsoft software that includes WMDRM will ask for your consent prior

to the upgrade. If you decline an upgrade, you will not be able to access content that requires the upgrade. You may switch

off WMDRM features that access the Internet. When these features are off, you can still play content for which you have a

checking for Malware. No information that can be used to identify you is included in the report. You may disable the

software’s Malware reporting functionality by following the instructions found at

www.support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830.

●Network Awareness.

connection uses standard NTP protocol.

Everything you type in the Instant Search box or in the Address bar when preceded by a question mark (?) is sent to your

search provider as you type. Also, when you press Enter or click the Search button, the text in the Instant Search box or

Address bar is sent to the search provider. If you use a Microsoft search provider, use of the information sent is subject to

surveillance computers through the network.

This unit has two network terminals; one for connecting to

network cameras (LAN1), and one for connecting to

surveillance computers (LAN2).

Caution:

●Make sure to use LAN1 and LAN2 for different segments*.

Example:

LAN1: 192.168.0.253

LAN2: 192.168.1.253

* Segment: Underlined sections

●LAN1 and LAN2 cannot communicate with each other. It

is not possible to configure settings of cameras connected

to LAN1 from a surveillance computer connected to

LAN2. Connect a computer for camera setup to LAN1 in

order to configure settings for cameras connected to

LAN1.

●LAN1 and LAN2 are non-QoS-compliant. Audio sounds

may not be played back properly depending on the line

status.

exhausted network cable. Otherwise, the system may

malfunction.

䡵Connecting to network cameras (LAN1)

ANetwork cameras

BSwitching hub

Caution:

●Install cameras and setup IP addresses in advance.

●Do not connect LAN1 to the Internet. Important camera

images may not be saved depending on conditions such

as Internet congestion and relay status.

It is recommended to make it a dedicated network to

ensure recording performance. Also, the camera network

of LAN1 must be the same segment (address conversion

such as NAT and NAPT and a router are not used).

Note:

●For protocols and port numbers used by network

cameras, refer to the instruction manual of the network

cameras.

●The default IP address of LAN1 is “192.168.0.253.” The
