IMPORTANT:
New viruses are created every day. To remain effective, your antivirus software must be active and updated on a regular
basis. Pelco is not responsible for the failure of an individual or organization to update antivirus software and virus definition files.
Scanning the hard disk system for viruses while the DX8000 is recording may result in lost video data. Virus scanning should only be
performed manually while the DX8000 is not in record, search, or playback modes. Pelco is not responsible for damage or loss to
equipment, software, video, or other data resulting from computer viruses. Please refer to your antivirus software manual for more
information on protecting against the viruses.
