To use this function the first step is to format the USB device with “FAT” system on your computer,
the DVR doesn’t support “FAT32” file system.
Plug in the USB flash drive, go to the Backup set menu, check to verify if the flash drive was
detected or not, and if there is enough free space on the flash drive for the file or files you want to
backup. Select the backup mode then quit the menu setup.
In shift mode if you select “STILL” for the backup mode in the Backup Set menu and press the
USB button, it will begin to backup the picture to the USB device. There will be a ”S” blinking on
the screen, when it stops blinking the backup of the picture is done. You can unplug the USB flash
drive and see the picture on a computer using the PC Viewer software.
Notice: if you backup still picture, please choose full picture display.
If you select “MOVIE” for the backup mode in the Backup Set menu and press the USB button in
shift mode it will begin to backup the video to the USB flash drive from the time selected. Press
the USB button again to select the end time of the backup video. There will be an “A” blinking on
the screen. This may take a little time depending on the size of the file. Make sure the USB flash
drive has enough free space to hold the video file. When the blinking stops the backup is done
and you can see the video on a computer with the PC Viewer software.
Create a folder named “firmware” in the USB root directory on the flash drive and copy the update
files to the folder. Plug in the USB flash drive, go to the menu of Backup set, check to verify that
the flash drive was detected, go to the Firmware Update menu which is shown below, and select
USB method. Move to Update Start and press the “ENTER” button. The update will start. After you
get the message that the update is ok reboot the DVR.
NOTE: Do not shut down the DVR when the DVR is updating, it may damage the system.
