Your DVR can be set up for event or time-lapse recording. You can define times to record, and the
schedule can change for different days of the week and user defined holidays.
The DVR can be set up to alert you when the hard disk drive is full, or it can be set to record over the
oldest video once the disk is full.
Your DVR uses a proprietary encryption scheme making it nearly impossible to alter video.
You can view video and control your DVR remotely by connecting via modem or Ethernet. There is a
SCSI port that can be used to record or archive video to external hard disk drives, and there are also three
USB ports that can be used to upgrade the system or copy video clips to external hard disk, CD-RW and
flash drives.
NOTE: This manual covers the 8- and 16-channel digital video recorders. The DVRs are identical
except for the number of cameras and alarms that can be connected and the number of cameras
that can be displayed. For simplicity, the illustrations and descriptions in this manual refer to the
16-camera model.
