1. Turning the DVR ON 

 

The contents in the “

Precautions and Safety Instructions

” at the beginning of this manual must 

be understood and always complied with. Read this section carefully. 

 

Before turning the DVR ON, check the system connections. All input and output peripherals and 

devices must be properly and securely connected.   

 

Ensure that the DVR’s video format (NTSC/PAL) and the monitor(s) video format (NTSC/PAL) 

meet the technical requirements of each and are properly installed. 

 

Turn  on  all  exterior  equipment  after  checking  their  connectivity  and  settings  that  are  not 

controlled by the DVR. 

 

If required, insert and connect the removable hard disk to the DVR and lock it up (turn the hard 

disk lock to the right-clockwise). 

 

Plug the power cord into an AC90-240 outlet and press the power switch ON in the front panel.   

2. Turning the DVR OFF 

 

Normally turn OFF  the DVR when the system shuts down according to schedule or is idle (not 

recording or playing).    Do not turn off the DVR while playing, during playback or at any stage 

of System Setup taking place. Do not turn off the DVR while recording   

 

Press  the  recording  REC  button  to  stop  recording  or  press  the  PLAY  button  to  stop  playing  or 

exit from the System Setup menu before turning the power OFF. 

 

If the DVR will not be used for a long time, also disconnect the power cord from the electrical 

outlet. 

3. Normal Recording Process 

 

Turn power ON to DVR and all related peripheral devices (cameras, monitor).    Ensure that there 

is video input. 

 

Press  the  DISPLAY  button  to  check  the  amount  of  spare  space  on  the  hard  disk.    If  there 

appears  to  be  insufficient  space  on  the  hard  disk,  consider  whether  to  change  hard  disk  first  or 

select overwriting mode via System Setup.   

 

Check  all  recording  parameters  setup  before  recording.    Video  quality  and  frame  rate  must  be 

selected. Recording settings cannot be modified during the recording process. 

 

Manual  recording  is  part  of  a  normal  recording  process.    Under  the  manual  recording  mode 

(non-schedule status), pressing the REC button will record video on ALL active channels. 

 

Press  the  REC  button  to  begin  recording;  up  to  16  channels  will  start  simultaneous  recording. 

While  in  normal  recording  mode,  press  the  REC  button  again,  enter  the  correct  password  (if 

setup for entering a recording password) and it will stop recording. 

 

During the recording process, if the hard disk is full, and the system is set to automatic overwrite, 

then the recording will not be interrupted, and it will begin to overwrite the earliest recorded files;
