4. OPERATING PROCEDURE
4.1 POWERING ON
This DVR is built to be on at all times, and therefore should be connected to a surge protected
power bar (UPC power backup). Use the power bar’s switch to turn the unit off and on. This is
especially important as loss of power while recording could possibly damage the hard drive.
Every time the DVR is powered on, it will auto-detect its peripherals (self-testing, warm-up,
auto detects the hard drive, etc). It will also detect all video input signals. If it does not detect
an input, (eg: no camera present) it will sound an alarm. Press any button on the DVR to stop
the alarm. There are 4 camera inputs and channels. Disable the unused channels in the Camera
Setup Menu to prevent the alarm from activating every time the unit is powered on.
4.2 MONITORING MODE
Monitoring mode is the default mode after the DVR is powered on. It will display all 4 camera
views. To display a specific camera, press the corresponding number. This will place that
camera’s view on your entire screen. To display all cameras again, press the Quad Display
button. To start recording, press REC. To stop recording, press STOP.
To reset all DVR settings to their factory default settings (under quad or single display), press
the PAUSE button 5 times. The message ALL SETTING DATA IS INITIALIZED will be displayed,
and after the reset the default password will be set as 111111.
When the reset is completed, the message DVR RESET COMPLETED. TURN OFF AND ON THE
DVR will be displayed. Restart the DVR to continue.
