For going through the items on Startup Wizard, the most convenient way is to use the supplied USB mouse. See the USB mouse operations in “Using the Supplied USB Mouse” on page 34.
The wizard includes setup screens which allow you to choose how you want the DVR to operate. All items on the wizard are also accessible via the DVR’s Main Menu (see “Main Menu” on page 53).
Startup Wizard
If you do not want to go through the Startup Wizard but access the Live Viewing screen immediately (step 6), you can click Exit. A confirmation message appears on the screen, click OK.

HDD Management
If you start up the DVR for the first time, you need to format the HDD. Only then the DVR can record the footages on it. To format the HDD, check the Select checkbox and click Format HDD. A warning message opens where you are asked to confirm your selection. Click OK.
Wait for the Format finished! notification message to appear on the screen. Click OK.
NOTE: Next time you startup the DVR, the recording from the cameras is performed automatically, or based on a defined schedule, and you do not need to reformat the HDD again, unless there is a problem with the hard disk.
Overwrite: Use this option to overwrite the old recordings on the HDD when the HDD is full. For example, if you choose the option 7 days then only the last 7 days recordings are kept on the HDD. To prevent overwriting any old recordings, select Disable.
Click Next Step to move to the next window.

Record Schedule
ENGLISH
If you know the recording schedule in advance, you can define it in this step but you can do it also later via OSD menu. Please be noted that after you format the HDD, the default continuous recording from the connected cameras start automatically.
Channel: Select the channel where you want to apply the schedule.
Week: Select the day of the week where you want to apply the schedule. For example, after you define the schedule for Monday, you can use the Copy function to apply the same schedule for Tuesday ~ Friday.
Normal (N) Recording: When the time slot is marked green, it means the channel performs normal recording for that time slot. If you do not want to record all 24 hours in a specified day, click on the green slot to mark it No Record (gray slot).
Motion (M) Recording: When the time slot is marked yellow, it means the channel records only when a motion is detected during that time slot. We recommend to use this type of recording. The motion recording means that the recording is triggered only if a movement is detected.
Alarm Recording (for 16 channel only): When the time slot is marked red, the channel records only when the alarm is triggered during that time slot.
Click Next Step to move to the next screen.

System General Configuration
It is very important that the time and date are set correctly. In case of a robbery, for example, the video footage can be used as an evidence in the court, and if the date and time do not match, the footage is not regarded as a legitimate evidence.
Date and Time: The current date and time are displayed on the screen. To change the date and/or time, you need to click on the corresponding field and do the modifications via the on-screen keyboard. After the changes are done, click the Save button.
Date Format: Choose how you would like the date to appear on the screen. We recommend to use the standard formats in your location.
Time Format: Choose how you would like the time to appear on the screen. The available options are 24-hour format or 12-hour format.
DST: Configure the Daylight Saving Time if it is applicable in your region. By default the DST is set Disable.
NTP: Skip the NTP (Network Time Protocol) for the time being because it requires an active Internet connection. By default, this item is enabled. It means that the time and date is updated automatically after the DVR is connected to the Internet. However, we suggest to set the date and time manually at this stage.
Language: Choose the preferred language you wish the menu items to appear on your DVR.
Video Format: Here you can choose the video format. The available options are NTSC and PAL. NTSC is used in Japan, Canada, US. PAL is used in Western Europe and Australia. If the DVR’s picture is flickering or has only black and white color, it may be that the video format is not correct.

Network Configuration
ENGLISH
Network settings should be configured if you want to connect to the DVR remotely for live viewing or for example, if you want the DVR to synchronize the date and time automatically.
Type: Select the network type you are using. The most common types are DHCP or Static. Most probably your network type is DHCP, unless the network is manually addressed (usually called- Static).
NOTE: If your network type is Static, ask your ISP for assistance on determining the IP address, Subnet mask, Gateway, and DNS 1/2 server. If your network type is DHCP, your DVR will obtain the connection parameters, like IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS 1/(2) automatically.
Client Port and HTTP Port: For time being, keep the default port values. Client and HTTP ports are important to configure before accessing the DVR remotely from a PC via HTTP Interface or smart phone/tablet.
For the first time startup, you do not need to configure Email or DDNS.
Click Apply. A notification message appears on the screen, click OK.
Another notification messages appears on the screen, asking your confirmation to disable Startup Wizard after reboot.
Click Yes.
The DVR will reboot.
