Factory Reset
The DVR has a Factory Reset switch to the left of the Network port (to the left of the VGA port
for 4- and 8-ch models) on the rear panel. This switch will only be used on the rare occasions
that you want to return all the settings to the original factory settings.
CAUTION: When using the Factory Reset, you will lose any settings you have saved.
To reset the unit, you will need a straightened paperclip:
Turn the DVR off.  Poke the straightened paperclip in the unlabeled hole to the left of the Network port (to the left
of the VGA port for 4- and 8-ch models), and turn the DVR on.  Hold the switch until the DVR turns on and the
live monitoring screen appears.  Release the reset switch. All of the DVR’s settings are now at the original settings
it had when it left the factory.
