1. Introduction
We thank you for choosing this high quality Digital Video Recorder. The DVR converts analog
NTSC or PAL video to digital images and records them on a removable hard disk drive.
Digitally recorded video has several advantages over analog video recorded on tape. There is
no need to adjust tracking. Digital video can be indexed by time schedule or events, and you
can instantly view video after selecting the time or event. You can freeze frames, fast-forward,
fast-reverse, slow-forward, and slow-reverse without image streaking or tearing. It can be used
as a replacement for a time-lapse VCR in a security installation.
