1)
Switch on your DVR and wait for the system program to load. If you have not yet installed
a hard disk drive into the device or the device didn’t read the HDD, or a new HDD didn’t be
formatted, or there is no space of the HDD to record, it will display an icon “
” in the
video preview interface. You must format the HDD in the DVR before first using. The
steps as follows: System settings > SYSTEM > HDD management > format. After
formatting for the first time, the system will restart. If the HDD is already installed, then the
default setting is for the DVR to start recording and a red dot
on the screen will
indicate that.
For detailed description of PTZ protocols, baud rates and IDs please refer to
the setup section in the PTZ manual.
