DVR Overheating

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I have a DVR on a customer site in the loft space which overheats when stored in a DVR lockable box.

When taken out of the box, the DVR stays in its normal operating temperature.

 

Any ideas on how i can keep the unit cool whilst locked in the lockable box?

 

Someone mentioned a USB Fan, is this safe?

 

Thanks

 

Vic

best way is to find a lockbox with a fan if yours doesn't come with it.

 

secondly inside the mother board of the DVR should be a two pin connection for a small PC fan, and see if the housing has a opening to screw in the fan.

Search google.com for the following words...

 

dvr lock box

 

Then click on images. That will show you various lock boxes and how many have fans mounted in the back.
