2) SS (Spatial Sensitivity)

“SS” is to set the sensitivity for detecting the size of one object (the number of the grids) on the screen. The

smaller the value is, the higher sensitivity for motion detection.

The highest sensitivity setting is 00, and the lowest sensitivity setting is 15. The default setting is 03.

3) TS (Time of Sensitivity)

“TS” is to set the sensitivity regarding how long one object stays in the detection area and triggers the

APPENDIX 6 DVR BATTERY REPLACEMENT

DVR time reset after power failure, for example, caused by a power outage, will cause the disorder of the recorded data,

and users may have problems in searching the event clip they want. To keep the DVR time from resetting, a

non-chargeable lithium battery, CR2032, is installed in the DVR.

However, the DVR time might still get reset when the DVR battery is low or even running out of power. If so, please

replace the DVR battery, CR2032, right away

as instructed below.

¾ How to replace CR2032

Note: The lithium battery, CR2032, is a non-chargeable battery, and should be purchased separately.

Please replace only with the same or equivalent type battery in case of danger.

Step1: Stop all DVR recording immediately to prevent the disorder of the recorded data. Then, back up the

recorded data if necessary.

Step2: Power off the DVR, and disconnect the DVR power.

Step3: Remove the DVR cover, and find the battery on the mainboard.

Step4: Push the release as indicated below to remove the battery.

Step5: Get a new battery with the side of “CR2032” facing up, and install it to the mainboard.

Step6: Replace the DVR cover and connect to power.

Step7: Set DVR date & time, and resume recording. For details, please refer to “2.4 Date and Time Setting” at page

7, and “5.5.7 RECORD” at page 26.
