Audio input:   

Audio input to the DVRi Peli is either via the line in RCA sockets (e.g. from a diver comms system) 
or via a standard microphone (see typical image below) plugged into the ¼” (6.35mm) mono jack 
socket. 

 

 
Frequency response: 80Hz – 12kHz 
Impedance: 600 

 

Sensitivity: -76dB @ 1kHz 
¼“ (6.35mm) plug 

 

 

 

Please ensure that no cables etc have been left on the surface of the DVRi Peli before closing the 
lid, as this could damage the monitor. 
 

2.3 

Installation of Inspector with removable drive 

 

1.  Install the DVRi in a 19” rack giving consideration to the height at which the unit is mounted 

to facilitate the easy removal of the hard drive. 

Note1

:  It is essential that sufficient space be allowed behind the recorder to allow the 

power supply-cooling fan to function correctly. 

Note2: 

If networking the DVRi, all network connections must be made and the network be 

live

 before switching on the DVRi, otherwise no streaming video will be available.
