FAQ
Q1. What player software should I use to playback the
recording files?
Ans. Our bundled software is most recommended. You could
use the bundled software to transfer the files into AVI, WMV
format, then you could use “Windows Media Player” for
playing. A lot more other capable player can playback the
record files, such as VLC, etc.
Q2. How long can date/time stay working without power
supply?
Ans. Unit could self power for 3 months without other power
supply (including battery power supply)
Q3. Why can't I power on the device?
Ans.
1. Make sure the battery is well placed and has enough
power inside.
2. When you use the remote control, make sure it facing to
the IR remote control sensing area (please kindly refer to
the bottom of page 6).
3. The device was working if the LED was on and buzzer
beeped when the device powered on. Please make sure
you connect monitor appropriately.
4. If the device cannot be powered on, please contact your
dealer.
Q4. How does sensor (PIR) mode work?
Ans. The default recording mode will be sensor mode. In this
mode, after turn on the DVR, if there’s no any motion, it’ll

detects the motion, it’ll auto boot up within 2 seconds then
start recording. When the motion ends, it’ll record 5/10/15/20
more seconds and then shut down the DVR in 15/30/60
seconds again according to your setting.
