•
This DVR does not feature a built-in audio amplifier
unit and therefore requires the user to purchase a
speaker system with a built-in amplifier separately.
It's possible to connect an amplified audio source to
the DVR, but microphones that do not have a built-
in amplifier will not function properly if connected
to the DVR directly. If this is the case, connect the
microphone to the DVR via a pre-amp.
•
Check your local laws and regulations on making
audio recordings.
Factory Reset
Located right next to the HDMI Out port on the rear of
the DVR is a switch that, once activated, will reset the DVR
to all its initial factory settings.
A factory reset will clear all DVR settings configured by
the user.
You will need a straightened paper clip to access the
factory reset button.

Insert a straightened paper clip into the factory reset
switch hole and press the switch. Turn on the DVR
while holding the switch.
