General Tab
Option
Description
Language
The language to display the DVR’s menus, alerts and other
communications. Available language options are English,
Russian, French and Spanish.
Resolution
The number of “little dots” that make up an image. This should be
set as high as possible, but equal to or lower than the maximum
resolution your screen/monitor can display. Things change a
little depending on what kind of monitor you’re using, and how it’s
connected.
Time Zone
Particularly important if you’ve enabled NTP - set this to the time
zone where you happen to be. For example, people in eastern
Australia (Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne) choose GMT+10:00,
whilst the Eastern Time zone in the USA and Canada is GMT-
05:00. (GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time - it’s the baseline
that keeps all the different time zones in sync.)
Date Format
The format of the date (DD/MM/YYYY or MM DD/YYYY and so on).
System Date
This can be edited manually, or set to update automatically by
using NTP (see
“NTP Tab” on page 30
).
System Time
This can be edited manually, or set to update automatically by
using NTP (see
“NTP Tab” on page 30
).
Mouse Pointer
Speed
Move the slider to increase or decrease the mouse pointer speed.
Enable Wizard When checked, the DVR will automatically run the setup wizard
when the DVR is switched on. The wizard itself contains the
option to disable it.
Enable
Password
When enabled, the DVR will require a password for any operation
to be performed. It’s advisable to enable password protection.
