Video is quite sensitive to bad connectors; do not use screw-type connectors. These can
seriously compromise the performance of your DVR.
Rapid Dome or Rapid Dome Gold Dome Systems
With Rapid Dome or Rapid Dome Gold dome systems, using twisted pair transmission,
Honeywell recommends that passive-to-passive transmission distances be no more than
500 feet (154 meters). For greater distance, please use an active receiver such as an
HUTP652R.
Securing a Camera
Forethought about poor camera angles and the possibility of tampering with cameras or
vandalism can help provide optimal gathering of evidence, for corporate use, or use of
video in a court of law. See

Powering the Multi-Media LT DVR
Multi-Media LT DVRs can auto-range: 100-240 V~, 50 / 60 Hz.
Caution This equipment shall be connected to a grounded (earthed) outlet.
Do NOT remove or defeat the ground pin of the 3-prong electrical plug.
For many cameras in a permanent installation, you can use a power supply such as an
HPTV2404UL (4 cameras) or HPTV2416UL (16 cameras).
A Multi-Media LT DVR should be connected to a dedicated ground circuit. The outlet and
breaker box should be marked as such. With the exception of an optional line-conditioner
and an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), nothing else should be plugged into this circuit.
Caution Brownouts and voltage spikes can cause the DVR to reboot or
malfunction. Honeywell recommends that you use a line-conditioner, and
for short power failures, a UPS.
To allow time for a safe, manual power-down, a line-conditioning UPS is recommended for
a Multi-Media LT DVR and the cameras connected to the DVR. The UPS should guarantee
350 watts of power for each Multi-Media LT DVR, for at least 30 minutes. In Europe, a UPS
is required to meet EN50130-4.
