4-Camera H.264 Security System Setup Guide
SECTION 3: INSTALLING YOUR SYSTEM
DVRs generate heat and should be placed in a ventilated area. A high temperature environment will reduce the life span and
reliability of the equipment. Additionally, the DVR is not weatherproof, so avoid exposure to liquids and excessive dust. Do not place
objects along the sides or behind the DVR that will block airflow through the unit.
Uninterruptible power supplies
It is strongly suggested that power to the system be routed through an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). These devices will keep
your security system running through most power outages, in addition to providing excellent surge and sag protection. The UPS
should support your video recorder and all cameras to ensure normal operation during abnormal power conditions.
