operation of the DVR, and even damage the DVR. For long-term stable operation of the
DVR, brush off the dust on the circuit board, connectors, fans, and DVR case regularly.

protect the DVR from damage caused by static or induced voltage.

easily damage the video output circuit in DVR.

menu, or on/off button on the front panel (hold it down for 3 seconds) to turn off the DVR
power automatically and prevent damage to the hard drive.
