Powering On

1. The power adapter comes in two pieces. Assemble the power

adapter by plugging the power cord into the power brick, as

shown on the diagram on the previous page. Plug the three

pronged power cord into a power outlet. (It is strongly

recommended to use a surge protected power bar and

Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) backup. This will prevent

power surges or outages which may cause damage to the DVR or hard drive.) Plug the opposite end of the cord

into the DC IN port on the back of the DVR. (Please refer to the diagram on the opposite page)

Basic Operation

1. The DVR will automatically display all four camera views in Quad Screen. To view each camera individually, use

the

▲/1,◄/2, ▼/3, ►/4 buttons to view cameras 1-4 in full screen. Press the same buttons again to return to

full screen.

2. To stop or start recording, press the

button.

3. While recording, you must press the

button first before playing back footage or entering the

setup menu.

4. While in live view (not recording), press the

button to enter playback mode.

5. While in live view (not recording), press the

button to enter the setup menu. If the DVR password is

enabled, a password screen will appear. Use the channel buttons (1-4) to enter the password. The default

password is (111111).

2. To turn the DVR on and off, use the power switch on your UPS or power bar. This DVR does not have a

power switch. This is for your security and helps to prevent other people from accidentally or

intentionally turning the DVR off.

3. The DVR will power on and you will see a boot screen. After the DVR initializes, your cameras should be displayed

and recording will begin immediately. If you want the DVR to record continuously (24hr recording), no further

setup is required. However, you may wish to adjust the system time if it is incorrect (see page 11 System

Setup>Time Setup for more details).

Note: If a video signal is not detected on one or more camera channels (VIDEO LOSS), the system will sound an

alarm (by default). Press any button to stop the alarm. If video loss occurs on one of your camera channels during

recording, the DVR will continue to record. However, if all four camera channels experience video loss, the DVR will

stop recording.
