PTZ Activation
– If you have Pan-Tilt-Zoom
cameras connected to the NVR, you
can cause them to be activated when
an alarm occurs. You can further
instruct it to perform one of 255 pre-
set activities. You can also allow a
delay of 0 to 300 seconds before
the PTZ camera(s) activates. Setting
up these pre-programmed functions
is covered in
Section 5.2 PTZ
Control
and Setup
.
Tour
- When enabled, this causes the NVR’s display to cycle through selected Live View
channels while maintaining the selected recording functions. Instructions for
configuring this feature are found in the

menu as shown in
Section

.
Snapshot
- When this is selected, the NVR will begin recording still images, in addition
to whatever video is being recorded, and it will upload or e-mail these images as
configured in in the
Motion Events

HARD DISK DRIVE
CHAPTER 7
Your NVR uses a standard computer A/V-rated SATA (Serial Advanced Technology
Attachment) hard disk drive and will support up to a 3TB (terabytes) drive. These drives are
the current industry standard and may be purchased wherever computer parts are sold.
Depending on where you purchased your NVR, it may come with a pre-installed drive. But,
we recognize that you may wish to upgrade or replace your drive in the future so this NVR is
designed to make installation and replacement easy for the average user.
It should be noted that while this and the battery are the only user-serviceable parts within the
case, and you will not void your warranty by installing or upgrading your hard disk drive, care
must be taken to avoid damage to the other components within the case.
7.1 INSTALLATION/REMOVAL
It is strongly advised against opening the case when atmospheric conditions present the risk
of static discharge which can damage electronic components.
Whether installing the drive for the first time or removing the old one to install a new one, the
steps are largely the same:
STEP 1
.
Disconnect the NVR from the power source as well as any other connections.
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK!
The NVR
MUST
be unplugged from all power sources as well
as from the cameras before opening the case. Failure to do so
can result in damage to the NVR or its components as well as
injury or death.

STEP 2
. Loosen the cover screws on the
rear and side panels.
STEP 3
. Insert four screws into the
mounting holes on the hard drive.
DO NOT fully tighten, but give three
twists each.
IMPORTANT!
When you have completed your setup in the
Alarm
menu,
you should also review your settings in the
Record Settings
menu to enable
any other desired alarm-related features.
