t Do not expose the DVR to moisture. Water is the arch-
enemy of electrical components and also poses a high risk
of electric shock.
t Avoid dusty locations. Dust has a tendency to build up
inside the DVR case, leading to a high risk of failure or
even re.
t Only install the DVR in a well ventilated space. Like
all electronics, the circuitry and hard drive in the DVR
produce heat, and this heat needs a way out.
t Do not open the DVR case except to install/swap the
hard drive inside. There are no user serviceable parts
inside.
t Never open the case whilst the DVR is plugged in, and
never turn the DVR on whilst the case is open.
t Use only the supplied power adapter. Other adapters
may cause damage to the DVR or cause a re.
t Do not cut or modify any cable for any reason. Doing
so will void your warranty, as well as pose a great risk of
re or electrical shock.
t Do not expose the DVR to sudden bumps or shocks (for
example, being dropped). The DVR is as robust as possible,
but many of the internal components are quite fragile.
t Remember that the DVR is, in all likelihood, going to be
left on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Keep this in mind
when choosing a location for installation.
1) Standby: Sends the DVR into standby mode. No recording will occur while the
DVR is set to Standby.
2) Login / Lock: Locks the DVR so that it requires a password to re-open, or
initiates unlocking the DVR if it’s already locked. Only works once the password
function has been enabled and a password set (see page 32 for details).
3) Number Buttons: Can be used as shortcuts to a specic camera, and are useful
for quickly entering numerical passwords.
4) Display Mode: Enters split-screen view, where the screen shows one, four
(“quad” mode 2 x 2) or eight (8ch only - 3 x 3 with one space blank) video feeds at
once.
5) Menu: Opens the DVR’s menu.
6) PTZ: Opens the Pan/Tilt/Zoom control screen.
7) Exit: Goes back one step or level in the DVR’s menu tree.
8) Arrow Buttons: Navigates around menus or toggles through options.
9) OK: Works as the Select button does on the DVR, or as the Enter button on a
keyboard.
10) + / -: For adjusting the zoom of PTZ devices.
11) Record: Triggers manual recording mode.
12) Stop: Stops manual recording or playback in progress. Won’t have any
eect on recordings triggered by the schedule in either normal or motion-based
recording modes.
13) Mute: As the name suggests, this mutes the audio output of the DVR.
14) Playback Controls: Opens the playback interface from the live viewing
mode. Pauses, rewinds, fast forwards or or resumes playback from paused.
