1.1.2 Installation Guidelines
Do not expose the DVR to moisture.
Water is the arch-enemy of electrical components and also poses a high risk of electric shock.
Avoid dusty locations.
Dust has a tendency to build up inside the DVR case leading to a high risk of failure or even fire.
Only install the DVR in a well ventilated space.
Like all electronics the circuitry and hard drive in the DVR produce heat and this heat needs a way out.
Do not open the DVR case (except to install/swap the hard drive inside).
There are no other user serviceable parts inside.
Never open the case with the DVR plugged in.
and never turn the DVR on with the case open.
Use only the supplied power adapter.
Other adapters may cause damage to the DVR or cause a fire.
Do not cut or modify any cable for any reason.
Doing so will void your warranty and pose a risk of fire or electrical shock.
Do not expose the DVR to sudden bumps or shocks.
The DVR is as robust as possible but many of the internal components are quite fragile.
Remember that the DVR is in all likelihood going to be left on 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Keep this in mind when
choosing a location for installation.
