You may view this DVR using a standard 19” (or larger) VGA monitor or a television. The
former is connected using the VGA port on the back panel while the television utilizes the
BNC “Video Out” port on the back. Your DVR is configured to use the VGA port, so to use a
TV, you will need to press and hold the
STOP/ESC
button (
part of item 8 in the diagram
)
for approximately 10 seconds until you hear a beep indicating that the video mode has been
switched.
This DVR can be controlled through the USB mouse, the remote control or by using the
buttons on the front panel of the device. We have found that the majority of our customers
prefer to operate their DVRs using the USB mouse because of its ease of use and flexibility
and our manual is set up with this in mind.
