• When placing the unit on a floor or other surface,
make sure that the unit is equipped with the specified
rubber feet, and put the unit down carefully. If there
are no feet, mount the rubber feet first. Do not place
the unit near other devices that may become a source
of vibrations.

Wait for 30 seconds after turning power off
For a brief interval after the power is turned off, the
platters inside the HDD will still keep spinning and the
heads will be in an insecure position. During this
interval, the unit is more susceptible to shocks and
vibrations than during normal operation. For a period of
at least 30 seconds after turning power off, avoid
subjecting the unit even to very light shocks. After this
period, the hard disk will be fully stopped and the unit
can be manipulated.

Temperature and humidity related precautions
Use and store the unit only in locations where the
specified temperature and humidity ranges are not
exceeded.

When HDD seems to be faulty
Even if the HDD is showing signs of malfunction, be
sure to observe all the above precautions. This will
prevent further damage from occurring until the problem
can be diagnosed and corrected.

HDD replacement
The HDD, fan, and battery of the unit are consumable
parts that will need periodic replacement. When
operating at room temperature, a normal replacement
cycle will be about two to three years. However, this
represents only a general guideline and does not imply
that the life expectancy of these parts is guaranteed.
Regarding parts replacement, consult your supplier.

Overview
The NSR series is a hard disk recorder for network
cameras. The NSR allows you to monitor and record
network camera images (JPEG or MPEG-4). It also
allows you to play back the recorded images and search
through it, making the NSR a truly versatile monitoring
system.
