Once you have made your settings, select

or right-clicking to exit the menu will not save your changes.
Anti-Dither
– This is the length of time that the DVR will delay before recording a motion
event. The delay can be from 0 to 600 seconds.
Latch
– This is the “hold time” that the system waits after a motion detection event ends
before resuming motion detection searches. The delay can be set from 10 to 300
seconds (5 minutes).
Show Message
– When this is enabled, the system will bring up the
Alarm Status
window
whenever an event is detected. You can configure this to display when motion, video
loss or masking is detected.
Send E-mail
– E-mail notifications can be sent a single e-mail address. Please see
Advanced Network Setup
in
Section 1.2 of the Remote Monitoring Guide
for instructions on how to set up the e-mail alerts including recipient address.
Record Channel
– When one camera detects an event, you can set the DVR to activate
recording on other cameras.
Tour
– This will cause the DVR to cycle through selected channels on the display in live view. It
will not affect what is recorded.
Snapshot
– The DVR is capable of taking still images which can be sent via e-mail or FTP
(See
Advanced Network Setup
in
Section 1.2 of the Remote Monitoring
Guide
for full instructions.)
3.8 BACKUP
This DVR supports backing up files from the hard drive to both an external USB storage
device as well as over a network. Network downloads are covered in the
Remote
Monitoring Guide
. The USB port on the front of the device is the only port usable for
backing up files.
The
Backup
menu can be reached through
the Main menu.
The
Backup
window will display any
connected devices along with available space
and status. If you have a device connected
to the USB port on the side of the DVR and
it does not appear, press the
Detect
button.
If it still does not appear, then use a different
USB device.

If you need to clear space on your external drive, you can use the
Erase
button. This will
delete
ALL
files on that device.
IMPORTANT!
USB hard drives must be formatted as FAT 32.
Once an external USB device is detected,
pressing the
Backup
button will open a new
window allowing you to select which files to
back up. You can select by channel, start and
end times, as well as which type of event;
regular recording, alarm, motion detection or
all of them.
Only files with a check mark in front of
them will be backed up. You can deselect
whichever files you choose or select them all
by selecting the box at the top of the list.
