Once you have logged in, the DVR will display one or more camera channels in Live View.
How many channels are displayed will depend on how many cameras you have connected as
well as what multi-view mode you have chosen.
After a period of inactivity – configurable in the
General Setting submenu described in
Section 4.3 – the DVR will log users out. This will require the current user to re-enter their
password.
IMPORTANT!
It is highly recommended that you change your system
password after you log on for the first time to ensure the security of your
system. Record your changes and keep that information stored securely as
the system will prevent access if the incorrect login information is attempted
three times within a 30-minute period. If you find yourself locked out of the
DVR because of this, wait 30 minutes, reboot the DVR and attempt to log into
it again.

recording and will then resume scheduled operations once power is restored.

After logging in, you can view – and access
- the DVR’s functions through the Main Menu.
There are seven submenus available; Search,
Record Settings, Setting, Advanced,
Backup, Info and Shutdown. Clicking on
an icon will take you to that function or the
submenu it represents.

Options (when available) allow you to select which channel(s) you wish to view.
Pan/Tilt/Zoom If your DVR has a PTZ camera connection, selecting this option will open up
the PTZ control panel to allow you to take control of the camera or select a Tour, Cruise or
other setting that has been created in the
PTZ Settings window. Please see Section 5.2 for
instructions on setting up a PTZ camera.
Search This opens the Search and Playback window. See Section 3.5 for details.
Record Status This window will show you the current status of all cameras. You can override
your settings by turning some or all of the cameras on or off. Cameras can also be set to
detect motion.
Tour Setup Use this to have your Live View cycle through selected camera channels.
Multi-Preview Enable this to allow a split screen display when accessing the DVR remotely
using the
Web Service application. See Chapter 3 of the Remote Monitoring Guide for
more information.
Color Setting This will open a new window
allowing you to adjust how the cameras
appear on screen. This will not affect the
recorded video at all. You can adjust Hue,
Brightness, Contrast and etc., choose from
pre-configured options or customize your
own. Additionally, you can also schedule the
cameras to switch between two modes at
different times of day.
