Maintain (System Maintenance) Menu

AUTO MAINTAIN: When set to DISABLE, there won’t be any other options available on this screen. Choose ENABLE if you want to set the AUTO REBOOT function.

AUTO REBOOT: Will automatically shut the DVR down and restart it at a certain time of the day, week or month.

Note that, if you chose monthly rebooting and you enter the 31st as the date you’d like the DVR to reboot, there are several months of the year that don’t have a 31st day. It is suggested that this date be avoided, for that reason.

To maintain the operational integrity of the DVR, it is suggested that it be rebooted periodically. In much the same way that a computer can become unstable if left on for an extremely long time, the DVR can become unstable. It is strongly suggested that the DVR be rebooted at least once per month. However, as this can be a hassle (particularly if the DVR is stashed away somewhere inconvenient) you can set the DVR up to reboot itself.

When the DVR is rebooted, no settings will be lost, and it will automatically resume its recording mode and schedule without alteration.

UPDATE: For loading new soft/firmware onto the DVR via a USB flash drive. Usually, you won’t need to use this setting unless directed to do so by Swann Technical Sup- port.

LOAD DEFAULT: Returns the DVR to it’s initial factory settings. Can be useful if, for some unknown reason, the DVR is behaving erratically. You can select specific attri- butes of the DVR to return to the default - for example, you could reset the Recording Options to the factory default whilst leaving your recording schedule unaffected.

REBOOT: Turns off and restarts the DVR immediately.

POWER OFF: As the DVR has no power switch, you should click on this option first if you want to power off your DVR or disconnect it from the power. This gives the DVR time to stop what it is doing and prepare to shut down properly and avoid data cor- ruption on the hard drive. Once the DVR has completed its shutdown process, it will indicate when it is safe to unplug the power cable.

Remember: After making changes to the settings press/click the APPLY button.
