IMPORTANT!

  The overwrite features should be enabled before you begin 

recording or the NVR may not delete files created before that point. If this 
occurs, reformatting the hard drive will fix the situation.

NTP

 – This stands for Network Time Protocol which is allows an NVR that is connected to 

the Internet to automatically maintain accurate time - including adjustments due to 
Daylight Savings Time - in the same way that a computer does.

WARNING!

 

Overwritten files can not be recovered. Important files should be 

backed up onto another device to prevent loss.

 

Server IP - The default server used to 
obtain accurate time is the Windows 
server, but you can manually enter in 
another.

 

Port - This is the port that the NVR 
will use to contact the server.

Time Zone - You will need to set your time zone. For North America these are:

 

           Eastern Time Zone = GMT-5             Central Time Zone = GMT-6

 

           Mountain Time Zone = GMT-7 

 Pacific Time Zone = GMT-8

 

           Alaskan Time Zone = GMT-9   

 Hawaii Time Zone = GMT-10

 

Update Period - This is the frequency at which the NVR will check the time with the 
server.

 

Synchronize - Clicking this will cause the NVR to update the time immediately.

Device Settings

Language

 – The system currently supports English, Spanish or French. The system will need 

to be restarted for the language change to take effect.

Video Standard

 – By default, this NVR operates using the NTSC standard common to North 

America. Video output can be switched to PAL for areas where that is used.

Device No.

 – If you are controlling more than one NVR with a single remote, this allows you to 

give each NVR a separate numerical ID. 

Device ID 

 – If you are monitoring more than one NVR remotely, giving each an identifying 

name will assist in keeping track of which system is being monitored.

HDD Full

 – Depending on the number of cameras recording, the size of your hard drive, how 

many cameras are recording and how often, image quality and other factors, your 
NVR’s hard drive can be completely full of recordings in one to four weeks. When it is 
full, the NVR will stop recording unless you set it to overwrite older files. 

Pack Duration

 – Rather than creating 24-hour long files when a channel is set to record all 

the time, this allows you to set the maximum record length between one to two hours 
(measured in minutes). 

Realtime Play 

– This sets the duration of the video clip that will play when the 

Realtime Play

 

icon (See Section 3.2) is activated in 

Live View

.

Mouse Property 

– Just like with a computer, 

you may adjust how fast you need to 
double-click with the mouse in order 
to control the NVR.

Setup Wizard 

– You should deselect this 

box after you’ve set up your NVR, 
otherwise the Startup Wizard will 
launch each time your system is 
restarted.

Navigation 

– This is enabled by default and allows you to open the Navigator Bar by left-

clicking on the 

Live View

 screen.

Auto Logout

 – This sets how long the NVR will go before automatically logging a user out of 

the system due to inactivity.

IPC Time Synch

 – Each IP camera has its own internal clock. These can be set using the 

included 

PSS

 software (see the 

PSS User Manual

 included on the 

Manuals and 

Software

 disk) or you can allow the NVR to set the time by enabling this feature. 

Snap Times

 – This is the number of still 

images the NVR will take when you 
click on the 

Snapshot

 icon at the 

top of each camera’s video. You can 
take up to five shots at a time and 
the images can be found through the 

Search and Playback 

window.

RS232

The RS232 port on the back of the NVR is used during the manufacturing process as a way to 
configure the system. It has no user functions.

ALARM

Connecting and operating external alarms with your system will be covered in 

Chapter 6 Alarms

.

NETWORK

Accessing the NVR from within a Local Area Network, over the Internet or via a Smartphone 
along with setting up e-mail notifications and other online features will be covered in full in the 

Remote Monitoring Guide

 included on the CD that came with your NVR or available for 

download from 

www.Q-See.com.

PTZ

Please see 

Chapter 5

 for instructions on connecting and operating a PTZ camera.
