NSTALLATION
This chapter gives you a step-by-step guide to installing the recorder.
2.1 R
EQUIREMENTS
Operation requirements
The recorder is designed to work in tandem with a “recorder-ready” camera.
Cable requirements
The recorder requires a power cable and a dedicated interconnection cable (which is supplied with the
unit).
•
The 24V AC/DC cable powers the recorder
•
The 3m/9ft 10” interconnection cable is for connecting the recorder to the camera
Note:
The recorder will also require an Ethernet cable if you intend to connect it to your local network to
use such features as an NTP time server.
WARNING
Do not replace the interconnection cable, or use any other cable in its place: doing
so could damage the recorder and/or the camera
and will invalidate the warranty
.
Power requirements
For optimal performance the recorder should be powered from an isolated 24V AC/DC source (using a
cable less than 10m/33ft long), capable of providing 2 amps at 24V.
WARNING
Do not connect the recorder directly to the mains: this will damage the recorder and
could result in severe injury.
