Operation Instruction

Your DVR can be set up for event or time-lapse recording. You can define times to record, and the schedule can change for different days of the week and user defined holidays.

The DVR can be set up to alert you when the hard disk drive is full, or it can be set to record over the oldest video once the disk is full.

Your DVR uses a proprietary encryption scheme making it nearly impossible to alter video.

You can view video and control your DVR remotely by connecting via Ethernet. There is a USB port that can be used to upgrade the system or copy video clips to external hard disk and flash drives.

NOTE: This manual covers the 4- and 8-channel digital video recorders. The DVRs are identical except for the number of cameras and alarms that can be connected and the number of cameras that can be displayed. For simplicity, the illustrations and descriptions in this manual refer to the 8-camera model.
