Product Disposal (B2B)
Used electrical and electronic products should not be dis-
posed of with general household waste. At the end of its
service life you may return the DVS product after appro-
priate prior notification to either your local distributor or
DVS in Germany. DVS will then take the device free of
charge to a waste disposal organization which will recy-
cle and reuse it environmental friendly.
General Notes
Please observe the following general important notes:
VENICE 2U/Element has been delivered to you fully precon-
figured and optimized for a real-time in- and output of video
streams. Changing any of the settings (e.g. the hardware,
software and/or BIOS settings) may lead to a loss of perfor-
mance or may even render the system unusable. Re-configur-
ing the system anew is in most cases a lengthy procedure. Do
not change any of the settings unless you are absolutely sure
of what you are doing and what the results would be.
Your DVS system has been tested thoroughly and is very reli-
able. However, because of the vast amount of third-party soft-
ware available, its reactions on the installation of such could
not be tested. The installation of third-party software may dis-
rupt the real-time capability and/or limit the functionality of
your system.
Only use the designated storage to store video and audio data.
Other storage locations will be too slow for real-time opera-
tions.
Leave about 15% of the overall main storage capacity empty
of data for real-time performance reasons.
Compared to other alarms sounded by the system the alarm
buzzer of the power supply is relatively faint. In a loud environ-
ment it may be drowned by other noises. When operating the
DVS system in a loud environment, it is recommended to
check the state of the alarm LED (see section “Operation
Items” on page 2-6) at regular intervals.
It is recommended to set up an E-mail notification, to ensure
you get informed when a hardware malfunction occurs.
