The Main Menu
The MAIN MENU of
the DVR. In this picture,
the mouse cursor is
currently highlighting
the CAMERA icon.
Camera (Display Setup): The camera menu
contains all the options for setting up how the
DVR interfaces with and displays the images
from the cameras connected to it. This is where
channels are enabled or disabled in live viewing,
and where the AUTOSEQ (Automatic Sequence)
function can be configured.
Record: Where you can configure the recording
options for the DVR. You can set channels to be
armed for recording constantly or on a schedule,
and set the recording resolution, quality and size.
You can also enable or disable the associated audio
channel. Additionally, the recording function for
some or all channels can be disabled entirely.
Network: Where you can configure the DVR
to operate on your home network and over
the Internet. This is the most complex aspect
of setting up the DVR, and requires a good
working knowledge of networking methods and
protocols.
Search: Where you look for footage of a specific
event. You only need to know the date and
time that the incident that you are looking for
occurred. You need not know exactly - you can
specify a range of times and/or dates. The DVR
will list all recordings made in between the start
and end points you specify.
Devices: Here you can find the setup and
configurable options for the devices which can
be connected to the DVR. These devices are in
order:
HDD: The hard drive, where you store your
footage.
ALARM: The circumstances which will trigger the
DVR to record or issue an alert of some kind (such
as an email).
PTZ: For setting up the DVR to work with Pan, Tilt,
Zoom camera systems.
MOBILE: For setting up the DVR for access via a
compatible mobile/cell phone.
MOTION: To configure how and where the DVR
looks for motion. This can be used as (and is
recommended as) the primary recording mode of
the DVR.
System: All the remaining options and sub-
menus. Here is where you set the Date and Time
and your Password, change the video output
settings, change languages, or the automatic
maintenance schedule of the DVR.
