Precautions for Handling Hard Disk Drive
䢇 The distance between the head and the disk is only about
0.02 µ m when the hard disk (henceforth HDD) is reading
the data. Vibration or impact that is exerted on the HDD
may therefore cause the head to hit against the disk,
hence causing the disk surface to dent or the disk to chip.
When this occurs, data may not be properly read, or in a
worse scenario, continued use in this condition may result
in head crash (damage). Careful attention must therefore
be paid when handling it.
䢇 Precautions During Installation and Change of Installation
Location
Moving of this unit or installation work is strictly prohibited
when the power of this unit is on or immediately after the
power is turned off (approximately 1 minute). The HDD
continues to move under its own inertia for some time
after the power is disconnected, and exertion of vibration
or impact during this interval may result in HDD failure.
When moving this unit, wrap it using cushioning materials
to protect it from external shock.
䢇 Handling Precautions
● Handle this unit carefully without exerting vibration or
impact on it.
● Do not remove the power plug during recording or
playback, or when the HDD is being accessed.
● The HDD is a consumable product. Although it may vary
according to the environment of use, it is recommended to
replace the HDD after using for 18,000 hours in a
surrounding temperature of 25I. (However, this is only a
reference time and not a quaranty for HDD life span. ) For
inquiries on maintenance plans and expenses, consult
your nearest JVC dealers.
䢇 When installing an external hard disk, we recommend the
use of UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to ensure the
stable operation of the system. [Connecting a UPS]
(A Page 132)
䢇 Power failure that occurs during formatting or
disconnection of the HDD may affect its subsequent use
even when the UPS is connected.
䢇 JVC shall not be held responsible for the compensation of
losses incurred in the event that recording or playback
fails due to defects in this unit or its hard disk drive.
䢇 Images recorded on the HDD will be deleted when you
replace it with a new disk. Note also that recorded images
may be deleted when you upgrade the software for this
unit.
Clock
䢇 Use of a time server is recommended to ensure recording
at an accurate time.
䢇 There may be a daily error of 10 to 20 seconds depending
on the operating environment.
䢇 The clock time may vary significantly when the lithium
battery level used for backup in this unit is running low.
䢇 Connect the time server to the LAN2 network.
Precautions when Moving this Unit
Others
䢇 Remove all connected cords before moving
䢇 When there is variation in the supply voltage such as
during lightning, operation of this unit may be disabled to
protect the system until the supply voltage stabilizes
again.
Turn off the power and remove the power plug before
moving this unit. Failure to do so may cause damage on
the cords, and result in fire or electric shock.
䢇 Moving of this unit or installation work is strictly prohibited
when the power of this unit is on or immediately after the
power is turned off (approximately 1 minute).
The HDD continues to move under its own inertia for
some time after the power is disconnected, and exertion
of vibration or impact during this interval may result in
HDD failure.
䢇 When moving this unit, wrap it using cushioning materials
to protect it from external shock.
䢇 Eliminate static electricity before performing work that
requires you to touch the input/output terminals, such as
when installing devices.
䢇 Do not touch the rear panel of this unit when it is running
as static electricity may cause it to malfunction.
䢇 When there is a large number of data recorded on this
unit, such as short alarm records, a longer time may be
required during search or backup. This is not a
malfunction.
䢇 Handle this unit carefully without exerting vibration or
impact on it.
䢇 Data recorded from TV broadcasts or video (audio)
recordings shall only be restricted to personal uses, and
their use without the prior consent of the copyright holder
is strictly prohibited under the copyright law.
Precautions for Handling Power Cords
䢇 The width of the border lines (black in color) of images on
the split screen varies according to the type of input
signals. This is due to the characteristics of the camera’s
input signals, and is not a malfunction. The condition may
also be improved by adjusting this unit. For details, consult
our authorized dealers or JVC service centers.
䢇 Do not use the supplied cords on devices other than this
unit.
䢇 Do not place heavy objects on the power cord, or place it
under this unit
Doing so may cause damage on the cords, and result in
fire or electric shock.
䢇 Do not use cords other than those supplied with this unit
Use only power cords supplied together with this unit.
Using cords with different withstanding voltage
specifications or damaged cords may result in fire or
electric shock.
䢇 Do not remove the power plug during recording or
playback, or when the HDD is being accessed.
Maintenance
䢇 Turn off the power before performing maintenance of this
unit.
䢇 Wipe this unit using a soft cloth. Wiping using thinner or
benzene may cause the surface to melt or fog. When the
surface is extremely dirty, wipe using a cloth that is dipped
into a neutral detergent diluted with water, followed by
wiping with a dry cloth.
䢇 This unit comes with a high-precision hard disk device. Be
careful not to exert vibration or impact on this unit when
handling it.
䢇 Exertion of vibration or impact particularly when the power
is on or when the hard disk is being accessed may cause
this unit to break down.
䢇 When moving this unit, do so about 1 minute after
disconnecting the power supply.
䢇 Do not turn off the power switch at the rear of this unit or
unplug the power cord during recording or playback, or
when the hard disk is being accessed. Otherwise, it may
break down.
Precautions During Master/Slave
Connection of Milestone XProtect
Enterprise (XPE) and this Unit
䢇 Connect only one master PC to this slave unit.
Connecting multiple master computers to this slave unit
may cause it to malfunction.
Energy Conservation
䢇 Turn off the power of the system for safety reasons and to
save energy if this unit is not to be used for a long time.
Copyright
䢇 Use of video or audio sound recorded using this unit for
commercial purposes or playing them for public viewing or
listening may be an infringement of the copyrights of their
respective authors under the copyright law.
Software Installation
䢇 Do not install any software to this device other than the
provided application software. Otherwise, operations may
become unstable. Any malfunctions arised in such a case
will not be covered under warranty.
䢇 These video (audio) recordings shall only be restricted to
personal uses, and their use without prior consent of the
copyright holder is strictly prohibited under the copyright
law.

Note :
● Connect only after having turned AOFFB the power of all devices.
● Set the IP address of the camera to 192.168.0.xxx. When setting
the IP address of the camera to an address other than
192.168.0.xxx, you must also change the IP address of LAN1.
Refer to the [Instruction Manual] of each camera for procedures
to change the camera’s IP address,
Note :
● Do not connect LAN1 to the internet. If the internet is busy or the
relay equipment fails, you may not be able to save important
camera images. To maintain full recording capacity, it is
recommended that a dedicated network be used. Be sure to
connect the LAN1 camera network to the same segment. (Do
not use the address translation of NAT and NAPT etc. or a
router.)
● If you connect LAN2 to the internet from a surveillance
computer, you will need to configure IP Masquerading.
● Communication between LAN1 and LAN2 is not possible. Nor is
it possible to configure a camera connected to LAN1 from the
surveillance computer connected to LAN2. In order to configure
a camera connected to LAN1, it is necessary to connect the
computer for configuring cameras to LAN1.
● LAN1 and LAN2 are incompatible with QoS. Sound may not be
played normally depending on the condition of the circuit.
● The default LAN1 IP address is 192.168.0.253 and the default
LAN2 IP address is 192.168.1.253. To change the address, use
[OS Setting] (A Page 72).
● In VR-N900U, analog input circuitry is considered as a network
encoder (IP video server) and the IP address is set to
192.168.201.12 by default. When altering the IP address of
LAN1 and LAN2, specify an address (different segment) other
than 192.168.201.0 to 192.168.201.255. Also make sure that the
same segment is not specified for LAN1 and LAN2. (VR-N900U)
● When a single network camera is registered with multiple units
of VR-N1600U/VR-N1600E/VR-N900U, recording may not be
properly completed in some cases. Camera control (e.g. PTZ
control) may also become unstable. It is recommended that a
single VR-N1600U/VR-N1600E/VR-N900U be used for
registering one IP camera as well as for controlling PTZ
operations.
● Do not connect a broken hub, router or deteriorated network
cable etc. Doing so may prevent the system from operating
properly.
● Connection to a keyboard is not recommended.

4 If an administrator password is specified for the
device, enter the password
● The password is usually set to [root] or [admin].
● Click [Next] without specifying [Autodetect Device].
5 Enter a unique name for the device that has
been detected
To specify settings on camera connection, you first need to add the
required devices, such as network cameras or network encoders
(IP video servers), to the system. Devices have their own IP
addresses and host names. The system identifies the devices
based on their IP address or host name.
Memo :
● Even though each device is managed using a unique IP address
or host name, in cases such as when multiple analog cameras
are connected to a network encoder (IP video server), a multiple
number of cameras may be connected to a single device and
thus share the same IP address or host name. Although several
cameras are connected to one device in this case, this unit
manages the cameras on an individual basis.
● In addition to the network camera and network encoder (IP video
server), you can also add a number of dedicated I/O (input/
output) devices to the system. You can configure and use the
event settings for the I/O devices in the same way as cameras.
● When a device is added to the system, it is listed on the [Camera
Recording Administator] screen. To add a new device, follow the
procedure below. Firstly, configure the IP address and password
of the device according to instructions in the camera manual.
● You cannot add a camera for which there is user access
restriction. For details on access restrictions, refer to the
camera’s “Instruction Manual”.
● If the camera is registered with the user access restriction set to
ON, the camera is registered with access restriction and unable
to display live images unless the settings are changed.
1 Select [Camera Record Setting] from the main
menu
2 Click [Add Device...]
● The device is listed in the [Device Manager].
6 Click [Finish]
● To view the list of cameras connected to the device, click

Memo :
● The camera names are set as [Camera1], [Camera2],
[Camera3], [Camera4], …etc. by default. To change the name of
a camera, select the device and click the camera name.
● The camera number increases in sequence as new cameras are
added.
● Registration of the cameras can also be performed
automatically. (APage 113 [Auto Detect Settings])
Analog Cameras (VR-N900U)
In VR-N900U, analog input circuitry is considered a network
encoder (IP video server), and the IP address is set to
192.168.201.12.
This is registered as A[N900](192.168.201.12)B on the Device
Manager of the [Camera Record Setting] screen. Cameras
connected to the [VIDEO IN1 to 4] input terminal at the rear
correspond to Cameras 1 to 4 of AN900B. You can alter the default
name AN900B using the [Edit Device...] button. However, the IP
address A192.168.201.12B cannot be changed.
Memo :
● Audio signals that are input to [AUDIO IN 1/AUDIO IN 2] on the
rear panel are allocated as [Audio1] and [Audio2] in
[N900](192.168.201.12) on the [Device Manager].

Note :
● The Ahttp port 80B followed by AFTP port 21B are used by
default. To use a different port, click [Port Setup] and specify the
required port numbers. You may need to specify a different port
if the device is located behind a NAT router or firewall. In this
case, configure the router or firewall so that it maps the ports
and IP address used by the device.

Motion detection enables you to specify the timing to transfer
images from the camera, generate alerts, and trigger external
outputs (lights or sirens).
Note :
● This feature is essential to the system’s operation. In order to
avoid unnecessary alerts during application, it is recommended
that you specify the settings for each camera carefully.
Depending on the physical location where the camera is
installed, it may be necessary to perform tests and adjustments
of the settings under different conditions (time of the day,
weather such as windiness, etc.).

of change in the image pixel that is to be recognized as
motion. The AHighB setting recognizes minute changes in
the pixel as motion. Areas in the image that have changed
when compared with the previous image are highlighted
(default color is green).
[Adjust Motion Detection] Screen
Memo :
● The [Motion Sensitivity] slider is used to determine the number
of pixels for which a change is to be recognized as motion. When
the slider is moved from side to side, the black vertical line at the
bottom of the screen moves together, and the boundary (Motion
Sensitivity) is adjusted. When detected motion exceeds the
selected sensitivity level, the bar changes from green to red,
indicating a positive detection.
