RECOMMENDED TIPS CONTINUED
HDD INSTALLATION:
The System comes with a pre-installed Hard Drive, however the
unit will work with a replacement single SATA Hard Drive (up to
500GB).
NOTE: Make sure that the System is OFF and the power cable has been
disconnected before changing the Hard Drive. For detailed instructions,
check the user’s manual.
FORMATTING THE NEW HARD DRIVE:
The New Hard Drive MUST be formatted. If a new HARD DRIVE is
detected, the system will prompt you to FORMAT the drive. Please
refer to the system’s user manual for HDD installation.
TIP ON CAMERA MOUNTING:
Note: Test the cameras prior to selecting a permanent mounting
location by temporarily connecting the Cameras and Cables to
your System.
TIP ON REMOTE VIEWING AND PLAYBACK
OVER THE INTERNET (WAN):
NOTE: You must have an active internet connection to the System
to be able to perform Remote viewing or playback. Remote access
is dependant on your connection speed, internet traffic and other
network factors - the speed is normally 1~2 FPS (frames per second).
This may impact the audio and PTZ functions.
For faster playback, it is recommended to download previously
recorded video using the backup function and play it back using
Backup Player 2.2 Software - refer to the user manual for details.
L15LD420/L17LD420 Series Quick Set-Up Guide R1
Regardless of the network playback speed, video is being recorded
on your system in real time, and can be viewed when you are at the
system or through the backup player.
