Remember: After making changes to the settings press/click the APPLY button.

The SYSTEM SETUP menu is where most of the advanced settings for the DVR hide

out. Most of the time, there isn’t much you’ll need to change here. However, a few

settings might need tweaking from time to time, particularly when you’re first

configuring the DVR. So here’s a quick rundown of what’s what.
DATE/TIME:

Allows you to set the date and time. The DVR will retain an accurate

time even whilst turned off - there is a small battery attached to the

main circuit board. It may be the case that if the DVR is switched off

for an extended period (for example, weeks or months at a time)

that this battery may be exhausted. In this case, you will need to

setup the time and date settings again.

PASSWORD: For enabling/disabling password control to access the DVR, and

choosing what this password is. The admin password will be the

one you use for remote access (see “Remote Access” on page 62

for more details).

A/V SETUP:

For changing your video standard (PAL or NTSC), configuring the

VGA output, selecting where the menu is displayed, and selecting how

the DVR processes and outputs audio.

LANGUAGE:

For changing the language of the on screen display.

INFO:

Displays information about the DVR: specifically, it shows the

current version of the software and hardware that the DVR is

running, as well as the media access control (MAC) address.

MAINTAIN:

Define and implement an automatic maintenance schedule for

the DVR. It is important that the DVR be rebooted on occasion

to prevent errors - this function lets you program an automatic

schedule of rebooting which the DVR will follow.
