Important Information
FCC Verification
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference
by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
These devices comply with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• These devices may not cause harmful interference, and
FCC Regulation (for USA): Prohibition against eavesdropping
Except for the operations of law enforcement officers conducted under
lawful authority, no person shall use, either directly or indirectly, a device operated pursuant to the provisions of this Part for the purpose
of overhearing or recording the private conversations of others unless
such use is authorized by all of the parties engaging in the conversation.
FCC Warning: The transmitter must not be co-located or operated in con-
junction with any other antenna or transmitter. This equipment complies
with the FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimumdistance of 20cm between the radiator and any part of your body.
Warning: Modifications not approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Important Safety Instructions
• Make sure product is fixed correctly and stable if fastened in place
• Do not operate if wires and terminals are exposed
• Do not cover vents on the back of the device and allow adequate
space for ventilation
• These devices must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation
Important Note: All jurisdictions have specific laws and regulations re-
lating to the use of cameras. Before using any camera for any purpose,
it is the buyer’s responsibility to be aware of all applicable laws and regulations that prohibit or limit the use of cameras and to comply with the
applicable laws and regulations.

Recording: Encode
The Recording: Encode menu allows you to alter and
customize how the device records footage and encodes
the files.
Encoding is a term which refers to the compression algorithm (a fancy computer term for “make the file smaller while retaining visual quality”) used by the device.
You can choose and alter:
• The frame rate (how many images per second the device records)
• The bit rate of each video stream. The higher the data
rate, the “better” your images will look, but the more
space they’ll require on your memory card
Camera No: The channel feed you want to alter the settings for.
Camera Name: You can edit the name of the camera.
Encoding Parameters: Whether you’re editing the parameters for the
mainstream or the substream.
Main-Stream: The main-stream is the video feed that the device will
record and display. This is the higher-quality stream.
Sub-Stream: The sub-stream is the video stream that the device will
send to remote devices via a network or the Internet. It is the lower-quality stream as a reduction in video size makes it easier to send
over a network.
Record Audio: This is enabled by default.
Resolution: The resolution cannot be changed.
Frame Rate: The number of frames per second (fps) that the device will
record. The default (and maximum) is referred to as “real-time” and is
15fps. Reducing the number of frames per second will not save on storage space but potentially will improve the data-rate per frame (depending how you set the bit-rate - see the next point).
Remember that your FPS count is the same as saying “take X photograph per second” (where X is your FPS setting). 6fps doesn’t sound like
much, but it’s still six individual photographs per second. If maintaining image clarity while reducing storage consumption is your priority, it
makes sense to lower the frame rate.
Max. BitRate(Kbps): The actual amount of data that the device will use
to record video. The higher the bitrate, the more space each recording
will take. Generally speaking, recordings encoded at higher bitrates will
be of better quality, especially when recording movement.
The main-stream uses a variable bitrate to record video - the more
movement occurs in the video, the higher the bitrate will have to be.
When there’s little movement in view, the device will automatically reduce the bitrate to conserve space.
The sub-stream uses a constant bit-rate. This makes the video easier to
stream over a network or the Internet.

Recording: Schedule
The schedule presented on-screen applies to one channel only over one
whole week. Use the Copy To function to quickly assign identical schedule layouts to multiple channels at once.
Be careful when programming your schedule. It’s one of the most important aspects of setting up your device, and if it’s wrong in any way, it
could lead to disastrous complications later.
Copy To: Located at the base of the screen, with Default on one side and
Apply on the other. This will allow you to copy the schedule from the
channel you’re editing to another channel or channels.
Note: The Action Options for Motion Detection will affect the way the
schedule works. By default, all channels are armed to use Motion Detection as their recording mode.
Any adjustments in the Alarm menu will change the device’s behaviour,
even if it is set to Motion Recording mode.
There are three types of recording to choose from -
Normal: The device will constantly record for any period where Normal
is selected. You won’t miss anything, but constant recording will fill your
memory card very quickly. Typically, we suggest Motion as a better recording mode for most users.
Motion: The default and recommended recording setting. The device
will only record when it detects something moving in front of a camera,
and will then only record footage from the camera(s) that do detect motion unless you alter your Action settings.
None: As the name suggests, the device will not record anything.
Tap APPLY to save settings.

Search: Playback
1. Select one or more channels you’d like to playback.
2. From the Video Type menu, select the type(s) of video you’d like to
playback. The options are Manual, Schedule, Motion and All.
3. Set your Start Date/Time and your End Date/Time.
4. Select Search.
5. To initiate playback, select Play.
The playback interface is quite similar to a computer’s media player, or
to the on-screen display of a DVD/Blu-ray player. Most of the controls
are quite straight forward, and operate in the same way as a standard
media player.
Current Position: A basic progress meter. You can click to move the
current position icon to quickly scan through video events.
Rewind: Reverses the footage.
Play / Pause: Plays footage at normal speed. Tap to pause.
Fast-Forward: Speeds up playback.
