FOR YOUR SAFETY

To prevent damage to your Q-See product or injury to yourself or to others, read and understand the following safety precautions in their entirety before installing or using this equipment. Keep these safety instructions where all those who use the product will read them.

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK!

nCheck the unit and any accessories included in the package immediately after opening. If items are missing or damaged, repackage and return to the point of purchase.

nUse the proper power source. Only use the power adapter supplied with your system. Do not use this product with a power source that applies more than the specified voltage (100-240V AC).

nNever insert anything metallic into the DVR. Inserting anything into the DVR or its case can be a source of dangerous electric shock.

nDo not operate in dusty areas. Avoid placing the DVR in places that are dusty.

nDo not expose this product to rain or use near water. If this product accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact Q-See immediately.

nKeep product surfaces clean and dry. To clean the outside case of the DVR, gently wipe using a lightly dampened cloth (only use water, do not use solvents).

nDo not operate this DVR without the cover securely in place. Do not attempt to do any repairs to the DVR yourself. If there are unusual sounds or smells coming from the DVR, unplug it immediately and contact Q-See technical support. Under no circumstances should the cover be removed while the device is connected to a power source. You should only remove the cover to install/replace the hard disk drive (Covered in Section A.2 of the Appendix) or replace the standard 3v lithium cell battery on the motherboard. These are the only user serviceable parts. You may need to replace the battery if the internal clock resets itself after a power outage

nHandle the DVR carefully. If you accidentally drop your DVR on any hard surface, it may cause a malfunction. If the DVR doesn’t work properly due to physical damage, contact an authorized dealer for repair or exchange. Damage caused by mishandling is not covered in the warranty.

nMake sure there is proper air circulation around the unit. This DVR system uses a hard drive for video storage which generates heat during operation. Do not block air holes located on the bottom, top, sides and back of the DVR as they are designed to keep the system cool while running. Install or place this product in an area where there is ample air circulation.

PICTURE 2.4-1

The number of channels that can be displayed at once depends on the capacity of your DVR. For instance, if you have a four-channel system, the viewing options will be limited to singleor four-screen modes.

Clicking on any one screen in multi-view mode will bring that screen to full-screen single-view mode. The exception is in eight-view where clicking on one of the smaller displays will move it to the larger display. You can also drag channels to a different position on the screen with the displaced channel relocating to the position of the one that was moved.

LOGIN

For your protection, the DVR will log you out after
a period of inactivity. To make any changes to your
system, or to view recorded video, you will need to
log back in. Use the mouse to select your account
from the pull-down and then to “push” the keys
on the Virtual Keyboard to enter your password.
Click Enter to submit the password and exit the
keyboard.	PICTURE 2.4-2

Until new accounts are added, there are two pre-configured accounts available to users who log into the DVR:

2.5 ON-SCREEN MENUS AND WINDOWS

Your DVR will normally display live video from your cameras in the Live Viewing mode. It is configured to record video only when it detects movement - and for most people, this is sufficient. But, everyone’s needs are different so we’ve organized the on-screen menu in a way to make it easy for you to do what you want, quickly and easily.

Right clicking with the mouse will bring up the Shortcut Menu which lets you access the Main Menu:

PICTURE 2.5-1

Menu items are divided by category. You’ll use the items in the Functions section most often. Items in the Settings area will allow you to set up your system exactly how you want it to operate and the Info section lets you monitor it. You can switch between items in the same category (i.e. switching to Event from Camera) from within the window without having to go back to the Main menu.

The “Menu Tree”, on the next page, is your roadmap to your system. Not all models have certain features, such as alarms. In such cases, the option for that feature won’t appear in the menu.

2.6 PAN-TILT-ZOOM CAMERAS

AnalogHD Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras are plug-and-play like other AnalogHD cameras. Unlike conventional PTZ cameras, they don’t require additional wiring as control signals are sent through the same wire that carries the camera’s video.

Because of their extra capabilities, they require additional setup to program their movements. These settings are found in the same window used to control the direction of the PTZ camera. The PTZ Control window can be reached through either the Navigation Bar (left) or Shortcut Menu (right).

PICTURE 2.6-1
