The circuitry and hard drive in the DVR produces a significant amount of heat, and this heat needs a way out. • Do not open the DVR case exce

Navigating the Menus IMPORTANT - Remembering to Apply Your Changes When you’re using the menus to change settings or values, none of your changes will be saved until you choose the “Apply” option, which is usually located in the lower right-hand corner of the screen. Always select the APPLY button before leaving a menu if you want to save the changes that you have made. There are two reasons why the “Apply” button needs to be expressly selected. For one, it helps prevent accidental modificati

Naming Channels You can change the name of any channel from the default (and rather drab) “CHx” to anything that you would like (provided it’s short enough to fit in the box). A descriptive name on each channel often makes it easier to remember what camera is where, and which channel would have captured an event you might be looking for. Channel

The Network Menu This is the NETWORK SETUP screen. This is the most technically complex aspect to setting up the DVR, and does require a working knowledge of network technologies. If you are unfamiliar with networking, then we suggest talking with a professional - ideally, the same person who installed your network, as they’ll know exactly how it’s configured and how best to setup the DVR. Configuring your DVR and your home network can be a tricky process - and these two pages are not near

Channel 2 was not recording at this time - hence the display appears blank. (The image content has been intentionally blurred.) The playback controls are displayed across the bottom of the screen. They are as follows: Playback Controls The playback controls work in a similar manner to those you’ll find on a DVD player or VCR.
