DVR Installation

1. Make sure all cameras and monitors are properly connected to the DVR.

2. The DVR should be placed in a dust and moisture free environment. It must never be
exposed to direct sun light. Server room temperature is highly recommended to reduce
the chance of overheating. Overheating may cause the DVR to become unstable.

3. During the boot process, the DVR should not be interrupted. Do not press any buttons
on the front keypad, mouse, or remote controller. Do not unplug the power cord or turn
the DVR during the boot process.

Initial Setup

When performing initial setup, it is recommended that you setup the DVR’s Date & Time,

Format the HDDs, and Setup the DVR’s recording and Network Configuration. Setting

these options on a later date may interfere with previous recorded video.

First Initial Boot-Up

Main System Menu

The DVR’s Main menu allows complete configuration of the DVR’s settings and includes
the following sub-menus: System, Device, Record, Network, Quick Setup.

Access to some of these options can be restricted by user setup. These menus and
submenus can be accessed using the included USB mouse, the front panel of the DVR or
the remote control.
