This setting allows your system to adjust for time changes due to Daylight Savings Time.
Again, your system must be connected to the Internet for this feature to work. As of this
writing, Daylight Savings Time begins in most areas of North America on the 2nd Sunday
in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. Both changeovers happen at 2 am.
Allowing the DVR to make the change automatically ensures that files will not be lost as could
happen by manually changing the hour.
Checking the box marked Daylight Saving
Time will enable the DVR to switch the hour
automatically.
The starting and ending periods must be
set using the pull down options along with
entering the hour manually. The Week radio
button should be selected for this method.
If your region switches to and from DST on
a specific date, then chose the Date radio
button and enter the needed information.
Click Apply to save your settings and Exit to
close the menu.
4.2 LIVE CONFIGURATION

You can individually name cameras by
highlighting the field for each camera. The
virtual keyboard will appear allowing you to
enter characters, numbers and symbols with
case sensitivity. ENTER will save the name
and return to the
LIVE menu. ESCAPE will
exit the keyboard without saving.
You can enable or disable the display of the
cameras’ names and recording status (see
Section 3.3) by using the check boxes.
Main Monitor Tab
Select the configuration of your display.
Split Mode allows you to choose from
single view, 2x2, 2x3, 3x3, 4x4 (depending
on model) views on a screen at one time.
You can also select which channels will be
displayed.
Channels can be grouped and the display will
cycle between groups. Any individual channel
can be shown in more than one group.
Dwell Time: This is the time interval the
display will spend showing a group
before moving on to the next group.
NOTE! If viewing remotely on a computer with dual monitors, the display must
be on the main monitor.
PICTURE 4-9
You can configure the color settings for each
channel individually. Adjust image saturation,
hue, brightness, and contrast by clicking on
the Setting button for each individual camera
or for all of them simultaneously by selecting
the All button before making the settings. This
window can also be reached by clicking the
color button on the
Control Bar.
Setting the correct date and time before proceeding is essential to maintaining the integrity
of your video records - especially for purposes of evidence. Making these straightforward
settings should be your first priority before proceeding further within this manual. Changing the
date and time after important videos have been recorded could result in the loss of those files.
IMPORTANT! To maintain the integrity of recorded video, you should set
the DVR to the correct date and time before making changes in other menus.
Most of the options within this menu are
self-explanatory. If you are unsure of your
time zone, the date and time settings on
your computer or searching online for “Time
Zones” will quickly provide you with the
information you need.
NTP Server: Using Network Time Protocol
will keep your system’s clock current
by allowing it to occasionally receive
updates from the selected server.
Your DVR must be connected to
the Internet for this feature to work.
Please see the Remote Monitoring
Guide for instructions.
