CHAPTER 4

4.1 INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE

You will be controlling your security system using the SuperDVR software. It is compatible with 
Windows 2000, XP, and both the 32 bit and 64 bit versions of Vista and Windows 7.
The SuperDVR software is included on the disk that comes packaged with your DVR card. It 
can also be downloaded from our website at 

www.Q-See.com

 by simply searching for your 

product and going to the Downloads section.

STEP 1

. The software can be installed 

from the CD by selecting the 
appropriate button in the CD’s menu, 
by copying the installer to your hard 
drive and then double clicking to 
begin the process.

STEP 2

. Once the 

Setup

 window opens, 

click 

Next

 to begin the installation.

STEP 3

. Select your video format. NTSC 

is the standard in North America. 
Click 

next

 to continue.

STEP 4

. Instruct the installer where you 

want the software to be placed. Either 
use the default location or select your 
own. Click 

Next

 to continue.

STEP 5

. Once the installation has 

completed, you will be asked to press 
the 

Finish

 button.

As part of the installation process, a shortcut 
to the SuperDVR software will be placed on 
your desktop. 

You will need to restart your computer before 
you can launch SuperDVR and begin setting 
up your surveillance system.
