Four-Channel Digital Video Recorder

Chapter 4 — Operation

NOTE: This chapter assumes your DVR has been installed and configured. If it has not, please refer to Chapter 2 and 3.

The DVR’s controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are recording and playing back video. However, you have much greater control over recording and playing back video. You can establish recording schedules based on time of day and day of the week. The DVR allows you to search through the recorded video using much more sophisticated tools than those available with VCRs. Additional DVR features that are not available with VCRs are remote control and viewing and recording video at the same time you are watching previously recorded video. The DVR operates even when no hard disk drives are installed. In this case, recording, playback and any processes that access hard disk drives are not supported. You can only view live video, establish system settings that are not related to hard disk drive operation. Also the unit can be connected with DX-PC4U Watch either via Ethernet or modem.

The Front Panel controls are described in Chapter 3 — Configuration.
