System Setup Menu
The SYSTEM SETUP menu is where most of the advanced settings for the DVR hide out. Most of the time, there isn’t much you’ll need to change here. However, a few settings might need tweaking from time to time, particularly when you’re first configuring the DVR. So here’s a quick rundown of what’s what.
DATE/TIME: Allows you to set the date and time. The DVR will retain an accurate time even whilst turned off - there is a small battery attached to the main circuit board. It may be the case that if the DVR is switched off for an extended period (for example, weeks or months at a time) that this battery may be exhausted. In this case, you will need to setup the time and date settings again.
PASSWORD: For enabling/disabling password control to access the DVR, and choosing what this password is. The admin password will be the one you use for remote access (see “Remote Access” on page 62 for more details).
A/V SETUP: For changing your video standard (PAL or NTSC), configuring the VGA output, selecting where the menu is displayed, and selecting how the DVR processes and outputs audio.
LANGUAGE: For changing the language of the on screen display.
INFO: Displays information about the DVR: specifically, it shows the current version of the software and hardware that the DVR is running, as well as the media access control (MAC) address.
MAINTAIN: Define and implement an automatic maintenance schedule for the DVR. It is important that the DVR be rebooted on occasion to prevent errors - this function lets you program an automatic schedule of rebooting which the DVR will follow.
Remember: After making changes to the settings press/click the APPLY button. | 51 |
