4. Operation
NOTE: This chapter assumes your DVR has been installed and configured. If it has not, please refer to
Chapter 2 and 3
.
The DVR’s controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are recording and playing back video. However, you have much greater control over
recording and playing back video. You can establish recording schedules based on time of day and day of the week. The DVR allows you to search through
the recorded video using much more sophisticated tools than those available with VCRs. Additional DVR features that are not available with VCRs are remote
control and viewing and recording video at the same time you are watching previously recorded video. The DVR operates even when no hard disk drives are
installed. In this case, recording, playback and any processes that access hard disk drives are not supported. You can only view live video, establish system
settings that are not related to hard disk drive operation. Also the unit can be connected with RAS Watch either via Ethernet or modem.
The Front Panel controls are described in
Chapter 3 - Configuration
.

Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in
