Installation Instructions for Hybrid Digital Video Recorder models:
CH-AHDVR4 - CH-AHDVR8 - CH-HDVR4-4
●
These instructions are intended as a guide to assist in the installation of the DVR systems and assumes that the
installer has sufficient knowledge of auto electrical principles and practices to competently carry out all work
required. Should any part of the work required not be clearly understood this installation should be ceased and a
suitable installer engaged.
●
If you are not familiar with these DVR systems it is strongly recommended that before commencing installation on a
vehicle that a bench test is done with all components to confirm connections and operation.
Once this has been done you may proceed with the vehicle installation with clarity.
●
Any damage to equipment during installation is not covered by warranty and no work should be attempted without
first determining that this is the most appropriate method of installation as certain parts of the work will require
drilling holes to mount equipment.
●
The position of cameras should be determined prior to any cables being run and then cable paths will need to be
mapped out to ensure that these can be installed without the likelihood of damage and that cables are sufficiently
long enough to reach the main DVR.
●
Cables should be run through standard channels and grommets where possible. Protection such as split conduit
may be used to provide mechanical protection if necessary. Cutting plugs off cables or cameras to assist in
installation is not recommended as signal loss or interference may be present after re-connection.
●
If using HDD the DVR should always be mounted horizontally as the vibration dampening mechanism will not afford
suitable protection for the hard drive in other positions. Users mounting the DVR in other ways do so at their own
risk. If unable to mount horizontally it is recommend to use SSD.
●
Never mount the DVR where it cannot get airflow as the device requires air for cooling. Covering the DVR while in
use or mounting in a location where no airflow is possible may cause damage to the DVR.
●
Never mount the DVR where it can be affected by water.
●
Never mount the DVR where it will be subjected to excessive heat and vibration.
●
If the DVR is to be used with components or accessories which are not supplied as standard equipment this shall be
at the user’s own risk. Any fault caused by the use of equipment not supplied with the system will not be covered by
warranty.
●
Do not clean the equipment with solvents or other chemicals. Never use high pressure air to attempt to clean inside
the device.
●
Should any repairs be required, please return the equipment to the place of purchase.
