Digital Video Recorder

Chapter 4 — Operation
NOTE: This chapter assumes your DVR has been installed and configured. If it has not,
please refer to Chapters 2 and 3.
The DVR’s controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are recording and
playing back video. However, you have much greater control over recording and playing back
video. You can establish recording schedules based on time of day and day of the week. The
DVR allows you to search through the recorded video using much more sophisticated tools than
those available with VCRs. Additional DVR features that are not available with VCRs are
remote control and viewing, recording video at the same time you are watching previously
recorded video.
The front panel controls are described in
Chapter 3 — Configuration
.
Turning on the Power
Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in
Chapter 2 — Installation
, it is
ready to record.
Live Monitoring
As soon as the DVR completes its initialization process, it will begin showing live video on the
attached monitor and playing live audio through the attached speaker. The default mode is to
display all cameras at once. Pressing any camera button will cause that camera to display full
screen. It displays live video and plays live audio until the user enters another mode.
Pressing the
MODE/TELE
button cycles the DVR through the different display formats.
The DVR can be set to display the event-detected video in full-screen on the monitor during the
preset dwell time when there is an Event. The video of the lowest camera number among
cameras associated with the event-detected sensor will be displayed, the DVR will return to the
previous screen format after event monitoring dwell time. While the event monitoring is
activated, the monitoring for all other subsequent events will be ignored. Pressing the
individual camera button or the
MODE/TELE
button during event monitoring releases the
current event monitoring and displays the selected camera or return to the previous screen
format.
