9. Lightning
For added protection for this equipment during a lightning storm, or when it is left
unattended and unused for long periods of time, unplug it from the wall outlet and
disconnect the antenna or cable system. This will prevent damage to the
equipment due to lightning and power-line surges.
10. Overloading
Do not overload wall outlets and extension cords to avoid the risk of fire or electric
shock.
11. Objects and Liquids
Never push objects of any kind through openings of this equipment as they may
touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that could result in a fire or
electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the equipment.
12. Servicing
Do not attempt to service this equipment yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
13. Damage Requiring Service
Unplug this equipment from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified service
personnel under the following conditions:
•
•
•
•
When the power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged
If liquid is spilled or objects have fallen into the equipment
If the equipment has been exposed to rain or water
If the equipment does not operate normally by following the operating
instructions, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions as an improper adjustment of other controls may result in
damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to
restore the equipment to its normal operation.
•
•
If the equipment has been dropped or the cabinet damaged
When the equipment exhibits a distinct change in performance - this indicates
a need for service.
14. Replacement Parts
When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician has used
replacement parts specified by the manufacturer or that have the same
characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fire,
electric shock, or other hazards.
15. Safety Check
Upon completion of any service or repairs to this equipment, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the equipment is in proper
operating condition.
16. Field Installation
This installation should be made by a qualified service person and should
conform to all local codes.

17. Correct Batteries
WARNING!
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect
type. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions.
18. Operating Temperature
An operating temperature range is specified (see Appendix F, Specifications) so
that the customer and installer may determine a suitable operating environment
for the equipment.
19. Elevated Operating Ambient Temperature
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 specified operating temperature range.
20. Reduced Air Flow
Installation of the equipment in the rack should be such that the amount of airflow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
21. Mechanical Loading
Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition
is not caused by uneven mechanical loading.
22. Circuit Overloading
Consideration should be given to connection of the equipment to supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of circuits might have on over-current protection
and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings
should be used when addressing this concern.
23. Reliable Earthing (Grounding)
Reliable grounding of rack mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to
the branch circuit (for example, use of power strips).

Technical Overview
Your DVR can replace both a time-lapse VCR and a multiplexer in a security installation.
However, it has many features that make it much more powerful and easier to use than
even the most advanced VCR.
The DVR converts analog NTSC or PAL video to digital images and records them on a
hard disk drive. Using a hard disk drive allows you to access recorded video almost
instantaneously; there is no need to rewind tape. The technology allows you to view
recorded video while the DVR continues recording.
Digitally recorded video has several advantages over analog video recorded on tape.
There is no need to adjust tracking. You can freeze frames, fast forward, fast reverse,
slow forward, and slow reverse without image streaking or tearing. Digital video can be
indexed by time or events, and you can instantly view video after selecting the time or
event.
Your DVR can be set up for event or time-lapse recording. You can define times to
record, and the schedule can change for different days of the week and user defined
holidays.

Introduction
The DVR can be set up to alert you when the hard disk drive is full or it can be set up to
record over the oldest video after the disk is full.
Your DVR uses a proprietary encryption scheme making it nearly impossible to alter
video.
You can view live video, search for images, and control your DVR remotely by
connecting via external modem or Ethernet. You can use the USB port to copy video
clips to USB-IDE hard disk drives, USB CD-RW drives, or flash drives.

The DVR has a Factory Reset switch to the right of the RS232C connector. This switch
will only be used on the rare occasions that you want to return all the settings to the
original factory default settings.
Caution When using the Factory Reset, you will lose any settings you have
made.
Caution If you wish to use the same DVR name registered on the DVRNS
server after initializing the system using the factory reset, you
need to contact the DVRNS server manager. Please record and
save the help desk information before performing a factory reset.
To reset the unit, you need a straightened paper clip:

The DVR controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are recording
and playing back video. However, you have much greater control over recording and
playing back video. You can:
•
•
Establish recording schedules based on time of day and day of the week
Search through the recorded video using much more sophisticated tools than
those available with VCRs
Features of your DVR that are not available with traditional VCRs are:
•
•
View video remotely
Record video at the same time you are watching previously recorded video
The DVR operates even when no hard disk drives are installed. In this case, recording,
playback, and any processes that access hard disk drives, are not supported. You can
only view live video and establish system settings that are not related to hard disk drive
operation. Also, the unit can be connected with RAS Watch either via Ethernet or

2. Turn on your computer.
3. The USB device icon should display on the Taskbar.
4. If the USB-IDE hard disk drive is partitioned or has data, it will show up in My

icon and checking under Properties ➤ General ➤ File System. If the file
system is not FAT32 format, format the USB-IDE hard disk drive using the FAT32
format.
5. If the USB-IDE hard disk drive is not partitioned, go to Administrative Tools in
Control Panel and start Computer Management. Open Disk Management in
Storage and right click an unallocated region of the USB-IDE hard disk drive.
Then, click Create Partition.
6. In the Create Partition wizard, click Next, then Primary Partition, and follow the
instructions on the screen. Make sure that FAT32 is selected for the file system.
