Questions & Answers Setting Motion Sensitivity
Q: Why do I get a “Hard Drive Detect Error?”
A: Make sure you are using the correct power supply for your DVR. The DVR should not share power with cameras or any
other device and should be connected directly to the DVR. The DVR4-1000 power supply is the larger ‘brick’ power
supply described on the reverse of this document.
Q: Why can’t I access the menu?
A: In order to enter the menu system be sure to stop all recordings, playback, timers etc. by pressing the STOP button.
Then press the menu button to access the settings.
Q: Can I view my cameras and record while the DVR is connected to my PC?
A: No, when the DVR is connected to a PC it enters USB or mass storage mode. While in this mode you will can access your
recordings and backup to your computer but you can not record or view live images from your camera. When the USB
cable is disconnected from the DVR it will return to live camera view and full access will be restored.
