Important Safety Instructions

To prect people and equipment against hazards, ensure no live wires are touching the case

and sucient ventilation by placing the NVR in a cool & dry & undusty place with the vents

unblocked.

Different jurisdictions have speciﬁc laws regarding the use of surveillance cameras and

wireless equipment. Therefore, the user must be aware of all applicable laws that restrict or

limit the use of security cameras & comply with those laws.

Modiﬁcations made to the Camius device n approved expressly by the party responsible for

compliance could void the warranty. Visit camius.com/warranty for warranty terms.
