3. INSTALLATION
3.1 POSITIONING THE 300 DVR
Wirepath Surveillance DVRs are designed to deliver unsurpassed technology with superior performance.
However, where you place the DVR can have a large effect on the performance that you receive, and
the life of the unit. Here are some guidelines to follow when installing the DVR.
• If you are not rack-mounting the DVR, position it with all feet resting on a solid level surface.
• Be sure that the DVR is in a well-ventilated area that provides adequate cooling.
- Do not block the cooling fan located on the rear
panel. Proper ventilation is important to the
performance and life span of the power supply
and HDD(s).
- Do not place the DVR on carpeting or any
similar material.
- Do not install the DVR near a source of heat,
or in an extremely humid or wet location.
- If your installation lacks good air flow (such as
solid cabinet doors or wall-mounted racks), it
may be necessary to create ventilation to allow
outside air into the space.
• Allow a minimum of 2” of depth behind unit to accommodate cables and connectors.
