If you’re looking at the System
Information screen, you’ve
probably been directed to do so
by Swann Technical Support.
If we haven’t told you to come
here, you might be wondering
what all the information means.
On a day-to-day level, the
answer is “very little”. However,
if you’re still curious:
Device Name: The name that
the DVR considers to be its own,
and what it will use to register
an IP address with your DHCP
host.
The remaining information is
for use by Swann’s Technical
Support, in the event that you
require assistance. The various
model and build numbers help
us track down any known issues,
or catalogue new issues as they
come to light. It also helps us
gure out if you’re running the
most recent rmware on the
DVR, and whether you’d benet
from an upgrade.
System: System Information
System: Device State
The Device State menu contains
information about devices and their
current state. If you don’t know what any
of this means, this indicates two things:
1) You seem to be a balanced, healthy
individual who doesn’t become
obsessed by knowing exactly how
things work, it’s enough that they do,
and
2) You’ve probably got no reason to be
here. Just back out of this menu and
pretend it isn’t here.
Unless you call up Technical Support
and we ask about something on this
screen, there really isn’t anything to
do here.
