Video Out
A
VGA
connector is provided so that you can use a standard, multi-sync computer monitor
as your main monitor. Use the cable supplied with your monitor to connect it to the DVR.
An
HDMI
(High-Definition Multimedia Interface) connector is provided so that you can
use an HDMI monitor as your main monitor.
NOTE: Connect the monitor before the DVR boots so that video can be displayed on the monitor with the resolution
you have set during system setup. If you want to use both the HDMI and VGA Monitor connectors, one
of the monitors should be connected before the DVR boots, and the other monitor should be connected
after the DVR boots.
Factory Reset Switch
The DVR has a
Factory Reset
switch to the left of the HDMI connector on the rear panel. This
switch will only be used on the rare occasions that you want to return all the settings to the original
factory settings.
CAUTION: When using the
Factory Reset
, you will lose any settings you have saved.
To reset the unit, you will need a straightened paperclip:
1. Turn the DVR off.
2. Turn it on again.
3. While the DVR is initializing, the front panel LEDs will blink. When the front panel LEDs blink, poke the
straightened paperclip into the unlabeled hole to the left of the HDMI connector.
4. Hold the reset switch until the DVR’s internal buzzer sounds twice.
5. Release the reset switch. All of the DVR’s settings are now at the original settings it had when it left the factory.
Power Cord Connector
The DVR can be networked using the 10Mb/100Mb/1Gb
Ethernet connector. Connect a Cat5 cable with
an RJ-45 jack to the DVR connector. The DVR can be networked with a computer for remote monitoring,
searching, configuration and software upgrades. See
Chapter 3
─
Configuration
for configuring the
Ethernet connections.
Connect the connector of the adaptor to the DVR, and connect the AC power cord to the adaptor and then
to the wall outlet.
