Setting the Time (continued)

Configuring custom DST MODE

As the standards for daylight savings differ from country to coun- try, and often state to state, you might need to manually tell the DVR exactly when it commences and ends in your locality.

To do this, we need to configure the settings in the DST MODE

CUSTOM submenu.

First, select the appropriate week from the drop-down menu which lists the 1ST WEEK, 2ND WEEK (and so on) that DST commecnces in your region. Then, select the appropriate month from the drop- down menu listing months.

Repeat these steps for the week and month that daylight savings ends. Once configured, your DVR will automatically adjust the time settings when daylight savings begins and ends without you having to change anything.

Configuring the Camera Display

In the DISPLAY SETUP screen you can name each channel, select the position of each channel name, adjust the color set up for each channel, switch the channels on & off in live view, display time in live vew & recording and set time for auto sequence.

Naming Channels

If the names CH1,CH2 and so on seem a little dull, then feel free to rename them!

To do so, select the CHANNEL NAME option from the menu. Use the mouse or arrow keys to select, letter by letter, the name you want for the channel. Select each letter by left

clicking or using the icon.

The icon will change the letter board from upper to lower case (and vice-versa).

Name Position

Does the name of the channel for “Front Door” neatly obscure the exact spot on the screen where a visitor/intruder’s face appears? Don’t panic! You can also configure where the name of the channel appears on the screen.

Find the drop-down menu which, by default, will display

Highlight the drop-down menu, and select the position on the channel’s display you’d like the title to appear. You have four options, equating to the four corners of the channel’s display window.

UPLEFT:	The upper, left-hand corner of the channel’s display.
DOWNLEFT:	The lower, left-hand corner of the channel’s display.
UPRIGHT:	The upper, right-hand corner of the channel’s display.
DOWNRIGHT:	The lower, right-hand corner of the channel’s display.
