How to use

To begin using the recorder, mount the unit into a standard 1.5U server rack and connect your IP cameras directly to the integrated PoE ports. Connect the device to your local network via the RJ-45 interface and attach a monitor to the output port for local management. Access the system interface through a web browser or the dedicated management software to configure recording schedules, AI analytics, and network protocols. Ensure that compatible hard drives are installed within the internal SATA bays to enable video storage.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your server rack has sufficient space for a 1.5U device.
• Verify that your IP cameras are compatible with the supported video compression formats.
• Calculate your required storage duration to determine if the 20 TB capacity meets your needs.
• Check the power requirements to ensure your electrical setup supports the 200 W maximum consumption.

Usage recommendations: Regularly update the firmware to ensure optimal performance of the AI analytics features and maintain system security. It is recommended to use surveillance-grade hard drives to ensure reliability during continuous 24/7 recording operations.
