Q. When I format the Hard Drive from the Hard Disk Setup option within the Menu, the
system tells me that files are deleted. But when I plug into a computer via the USB port,
why can I still see the files on the hard disk drive?
A: The system allows for resetting of the hard drive for over-writing purposes. This does not
act in the same way that a PC format would do, and does not delete the data from the
drive. If you want to delete all the data on a drive, its best to format it by attaching it to a
PC.
Q: When I opened the box and listed all the components. There were no cables for me to
attach
to
my Television / Monitor, why is this?
A: There are many ways to connect this DVR a TV / Monitor. It would be impossible to cater
for all types. The table below shows the most common connections and what is required:

Q: Does the DVR viewer software support windows vista?
A: If installing the software on Windows Vista, install the software in Administration mode
by right clicking on the file and selecting “

”. When you run the
program you must also run it as an Administrator by right clicking on the DVR Viewer link
and selecting “

”
Q: I have opened the box and set-up the unit and cameras and attached to my PC. Why
does the DVR viewer software says “
No Vineyard Formatted Storage Device
Detected
”?
A: The DVR unit needs to be set-up using a monitor first and to be formatted in the correct
way, before use with a computer.
Q: Can I use the DVR connected to a monitor and a computer (via USB) at the same time?
A: Yes this is a useful function allowing you to take snapshots of pre-recorded material
whilst the unit is in use.
