Quad Camera DVR

Q. When I format the Hard Drive from the Hard Disk Setup option within the Menu, the
system tells me that files are deleted. But when I plug into a computer via the USB port,
why can I still see the files on the hard disk drive?
A: The system allows for resetting of the hard drive for over-writing purposes. This does not
act in the same way that a PC format would do, and does not delete the data from the
drive. If you want to delete all the data on a drive, its best to format it by attaching it to a
PC.
Q: When I opened the box and listed all the components. There were no cables for me to
attach to my Television / Monitor, why is this?
A: There are many ways to connect this DVR a TV / Monitor. It would be impossible to cater
for all types. The table below shows the most common connections and what is required:
Input Required Adapter Required Maplin Part Code
VGA CCTV to VGA Adaptor N78CQ
Composite BNC-Phono Video Lead L47BA
SCART SCART-Phono Adapter + BNC-Phono Lead L83BA + L47BA
Q: Does the DVR viewer software support windows vista?
A: If installing the software on Windows Vista, install the software in Administration mode
by right clicking on the file and selecting “Run as Administrator”. When you run the
program you must also run it as an Administrator by right clicking on the DVR Viewer link
and selecting “Run as Administrator”
Q: I have opened the box and set-up the unit and cameras and attached to my PC. Why
does the DVR viewer software says “No Vineyard Formatted Storage Device
Detected”?
A: The DVR unit needs to be set-up using a monitor first and to be formatted in the correct
way, before use with a computer.
Q: Can I use the DVR connected to a monitor and a computer (via USB) at the same time?
A: Yes this is a useful function allowing you to take snapshots of pre-recorded material
whilst the unit is in use.
