Important Safeguards and Warnings
● All installations and operations of the device should conform to your local electrical safety
codes.
● We assume no liability or responsibility for any of the fires or electrical shocks caused by
improper handling or installation.
● We are not liable for any problems caused by unauthorized modifications or attempted
repair.
● Do not submerge the device in water or install in areas with high levels of moisture or
humidity.
● Handle with care, avoid from dropping or placing the device in unsecure areas.
● The NVR does not have rack mount compatibility and should be used on flat surfaces.
Check Packaging
When you receive the NVR system in the packaging, unpack it, and check all sides of the NVR to
see if there is any physical damage. The protective materials used for the packaging of the NVR
will protect most accidental damage during transportation, but to ensure that your equipment is
operating as expected, it is recommended to inspect the product before proceeding.
On the NVR, check that the label on the bottom is not damaged. The serial number and model
number of the unit is needed to add the device to other Amcrest applications.
Please note that most Amcrest cameras come defaulted to H.264 encoding for maximum
compatibility when accessing your device in a web browser, or other third-party applications.
However, for optimal performance, the device’s compression and bitrate can be updated to
H.265 compression after the device has been initialized.
H.265 provides a more advanced technology than H.264 and allows the device to reduce file
sizes which in turn helps to reduce required bandwidth without sacrificing frames per second
(FPS) or resolution.
For more information on adjusting compression and bitrates, please refer to page 20, “Adjusting
Camera Settings for Maximum Resolution, FPS, and Bitrate”.
Front Panel
