25NVR and hDVR Systems Setup Guide
SECTION 4: INSTALLATION TIPS
3.4 NVR/hDVR placement
Your monitoring and recording equipment is central to the accurate capture of video evidence and
constant surveillance. Supercircuits strongly suggests that it be installed in a secure location with access
limited to authorized personnel. Additionally, NVRs and hDVRs generate heat and should be placed in a
well ventilated area. Excessive heat will reduce the life span and reliability of the equipment.
The monitor does NOT need to be on for recording to take place. NVRs and hDVRs will output and record
video regardless of the operational status of the monitor.
3.5 Uninterruptible power supplies
It is strongly suggested that power to the system be routed through an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS). These devices will keep your security system running through most power outages, in addition
to providing excellent surge and sag protection. The UPS should support your video recorder and all
cameras to ensure operation during power outages.
