52 VeDVR User Guide 21-0421E rev1.1
• Only files that were exported from the same type of DVR should be imported (e.g. files exported on a 4 channel
2000/F DVR should only be imported on the same or another 4 channel 2000/F DVR, etc.)
• The names of exported configuration files contain the DVR serial number and the timestamp. This means that a
second export operation will not overwrite a configuration file previously exported from the same DVR since the
timestamp will be different.
• Configuration files exported via the OSD (on screen display) can later be imported into a DVR using the Remote
Station software. Similarly, configuration backup files created by the Remote Station software can be copied to a
USB flash drive and imported into a DVR via the OSD menu.
• The content of the files is encrypted. It is not possible to open the file and determine what the values are for
specific configuration parameters.
WARNING: Importing a configuration file will change all configuration parameters except certain network configuration
parameters. This means that if the passwords inside the configuration file are not known, it will not be possible to
access the DVR after the DVR is rebooted.

as follows:
• This information is not available in the Remote Station software.
• The purpose of this function is to act as an alert of unexpected changes to the DVR’s HDD configuration. This
function will detect the following:
1. Removal of a disk
2. Addition of a disk
3. Replacement of a disk
4. Moving of a disk from one SATA port to another SATA port – this will show in the OSD (on screen display)
screen as two changes, i.e. one removal and one addition of a disk
• Hard Disk Drive changes are detected on DVR bootup, and the configured notification actions (e.g. send e-mail,
notify RSE, etc.) are taken.
• This function does not detect changes to the CD/DVD writer configuration, i.e. addition or removal of the CD/DVD
writer is not detected.
• No history is maintained – if the DVR is rebooted again, then the current HDD configuration becomes the normal
condition.
