To power the DVR up simply connect the 240V mains supply, the DVR will then
automatically power up.
Once the DVR is powered on the following conditions will be set:
• The DVR will automatically start recording on all available channels, unless
a channel is set to not record (disabled) or the schedule is set to limit
recording to Motion Detect, Alarm Event or a Timed Schedule
• The Video loss alarm will not sound for any channels not used when the
DVR is powered up. The video loss alarm will only become active once a
channel has a video signal connected
• The time and date the DVR was powered up will be recorded in the log
• The DVR will be locked and will require a password to be entered before
any user functions become available
To power the DVR down it is recommended that the power button be used. If the power
is simply removed by unplugging the 240v main supply this can result in loss of some
recordings and the power down not being logged.
To power down simply press the power button on the front of the DVR. This will require a
password with the correct access level. This prevents unauthorised use of the power
button.
The default engineer password is 888888
The DVR will now power down in an orderly way, it will ensure that the latest video is
securely recorded and that the power down time and date is logged together with the
user name who initiated the power down.
