Overview
Congratulations on your fine choice in stand-alone video monitoring systems!
The DVR4-5000 is a reliable, cost-effective digital video recorder with the
added convenience of a built-in LCD screen. It will, when properly configured,
autonomously work around the clock, recording incidents as they happen to its
built in hard drive.
The DVR4-5000 is also easy to use: we’ve included a PS2 mouse which makes
navigating through the menus a breeze. There’s also a remote control for added
convenience.
The DVR4-5000 can monitor up to four cameras simultaneously - so, if you need
to upgrade your system in the future, there’s room for you to do so.
Oh, and the stylish appearance of the unit doesn’t actually affect its performance,
but it does look really cool. Which always helps.
The default password to unlock the DVR is “111111”.

Tips and Tricks
Connecting the cameras and the DVR is relatively
straight forward. However, there are a couple of
things that can go amiss, particularly if you’re not
familiar with connecting A/V equipment. Here’s a
couple of points to watch out for:
Double check if your plugging a cable into an 1.
input or an output. Plugging a camera into an
output will not yield any useful results, likewise attaching a TV to an input won’t display
anything.
When installing cables, avoid placing cables 2.
too near mains electrical cables. AC power
generates an electromagnetic field which will
interfere with information being transmitted
along the cable.
For best results, avoid joining cables together. 3.
Joining cables reduces signal integrity - if you
really need a longer cable, we suggest purchasing a longer extension cable.

Using the Mouse
Attaching the Mouse
Plug the PS2 connector for the
mouse into the PS2 port on the back
of the DVR.
Note that the USB port on the side of
the DVR does not support a mouse
being connected. The DVR is compatible with a PS2 mouse only.
Using the PS2 Mouse
When a mouse is connected, a cursor will be displayed on the screen which can be
moved by moving the mouse, much like the mouse cursor on a computer.
Click the left mouse button to select an item or to change a setting in a menu.
Additionally, in quad-view, click a channel to enlarge it to full-screen.
When in the menu system, use the right mouse button to go up one level. When
in the live viewing or playback mode, right clicking the screen will bring up a quicktask bar, containing playback controls and a menu icon. These operate in the same
manner as the physical buttons they represent.
Turning the DVR On/Off and Auto Recovery
Powering the DVR On/Off
To turn on your DVR connect the Power Adapter to the DC 12V input on the back
of the unit. Turn the master power switch on the back of the DVR on. This will
power on the DVR itself.
If the screen does not turn on, press and hold the power button on the top of the
DVR.
To turn the screen off, press and hold the power button on the top panel. To completely turn off the DVR, use the master power switch on the rear panel.
Auto-Recovery Feature
The DVR4-5000™ is equipped with an Auto-Recovery feature. Should a power
outage occur while you are recording the DVR will automatically resume recording
once power is restored.

Troubleshooting Guide
Problem: The Power light keeps blinking red.
Solution: Ensure you are using the correct Power Adapter provided for the DVR.
If you have purchased the DVR as part of a kit, make sure the cameras are operating on a separate Power Adapter. The larger power adapter with higher amps
is designed specifically for the DVR.
Problem: The hard drive is not working.
Solution: Ensure the DVR is using the correct Power Adapter supplied. Open
the DVR and ensure the SATA cable is connected to the DVR and Hard Drive.
Problem: The hard drive usage is at 100% and will not record.
Solution: Format the hard drive or set the hard drive to overwrite mode.
Problem: I can only see a blue screen where my camera should be.
Solution: If only 1 camera view is blue, the DVR is not receiving that camera’s
signal. Check that the camera connections on the back of the DVR are secure.
Ensure the camera is plugged in and has power.
Problem: The DVR will not turn on.
Solution: Make sure you are using the correct Power Adapter for the DVR. Try
a second power outlet. Check the connections on the back of the DVR.
Problem: My DVR does not save footage more than a few days old.
Solution: Change the quality settings to Normal, lower the camera frame rates
or enable motion recording to conserve hard drive space.
Problem: I want to format my Hard Drive but I don’t remember the password.
Solution: The default password is “111111”. Swann recommends changing
the default password to prevent tampering or unauthorized use. At the risk of
stating the obvious, choose something you’ll remember!
Problem: I am using wireless cameras and the DVR keeps beeping and motion
records all the time.
Solution: Analog wireless cameras suffer from interference. The DVR interprets
the change of image as motion and records. Swann recommends the use of wired
cameras or digital wireless cameras such as the ADW-300 for DVR recording.
Problem: I am unable to playback recorded footage.
Solution: Make sure when selecting footage to playback that you have high-
lighted the START time of that footage and not the STOP time
