16 Channel DVR
Installing the Sensor and RS485 connectors on the 16-channel DVR is similar to the
procedure shown above. The notable differences are the location of the port on the
DVR and the size of the connectors. In principle, the 16-channel DVR allows more
sensors to be connected to it.

3.1 Turning on the DVR
The DVR is ready for running after all peripherals have been properly installed.
Connect the power adaptor to turn the DVR on. The DVR may take a few second to
startup.
When the hard drive is detected by the system, it will ask whether or not you would like
to format it. Refer to the conditions stated below to determine which course of action to
take.
Format the hard drive when:
» It is the initial installation of the hard drive (1st time to install the HDD in the DVR).
Do not format the hard drive when:
» The hard drive has already been formatted by the DVR and not formatted by other
devices.
The Home Screen is shown after the system is ready.
3.2 Home Screen
The Home Screen is the starting point for many functions and applications. It allows
you to setup, access, and control the surveillance video data. You may think of this
screen as a vantage point to give you instant access to video information and DVR
functions.
