It is worth noting that in practice (in operation), it is more convenient to use the full-sized SD card, rather than miniature SD-Micro used in many other DVRs.

This button allows you to activate the operation of the recorder: After pressing the button, the device is activated and starts to work.

The purpose of this idea is quite understandable: if the DVR is stolen, then without an activating keychain it will be inoperable.

Of course, if you try, the device can "make" work and without an activating keychain.

However, it is unlikely that there are many wishing to overcome such difficulties with protection when there are many other "defenseless" devices.

Moreover, for hacking electronic protection, the services of a good electronics specialist will be required.

The manufacturer's calculation is quite simple: after several thefts of such protected registrars, the thieves will remember the "problematic" model and prefer to steal other, unprotected devices.
