Chapter 2: SETUP OPTIONS
OVERVIEW
The Setup options allow the user to optimize the NVR by adjusting options such as camera names, reboot schedules, recording schedules, and
more. It is extremely important that the NVR is set up correctly for several reasons.
Recording Schedules increase the amount of pertinent recorded video that is saved on the NVR by optimizing the recording schedule. Optimize
the type of recording done by adding motion detection to this as well, again increasing the amount of useful video.
Sensor connections define the sensors associated with each camera.
NVR Access controls the type of access that other users may have. This ensures the security and integrity of the NVR unit.
Camera Naming names each camera so the location can be easily identified and will include any other pertinent information that may be helpful
when viewing it on the Video Display Area.
