Clicking the Search button in the upper right of the window will bring up a list of events to be displayed. Results can be filtered by selecting date and channels if desired.

LOCK – Selecting a file and then clicking the Lock button will protect the event from being overwritten or deleted unless the entire drive is reformatted

UNLOCK – This will remove the file protection and the event recording can be deleted or overwritten normally

DELETE – If the event is not Locked, this will remove the selected event from the DVR.

NOTE! If the status shows “Writing” it means that the sector on the hard drive where the file is located is still being written to. You cannot delete the file until the file is completed and the word “Writing” disappears.

IMAGE

This tab functions much as the Event Search tab by allowing you to search for and view the still images captured when you click on the Snapshot icon on the Control Bar. These images are stored on the DVR’s hard drive just as with video files.

Select the date to search, along with the start and end times to search between. You can also select which channels you want to include in the search. Clicking the Search button in the upper right of the window will bring up a list of available images.

UNLOCK.

SAVE/SAVE ALL – These buttons allow you to save individual or all of the images in the group

to an external USB flash drive inserted in the USB port on the front of the DVR. ARROW BUTTONS – Navigate to the first, last previous or next image in the group.
