To format the hard disk, follow the following steps:

(press the “menu” button on the panel)

Menu > configuration > HDD management > HDD setup > HDD clear

Enter password and click yes. The DVR is ready to use now.

To activate motion detection mode, you need to follow the steps:

Menu > record setup > schedule setup

Push the “+” button on the manual until the “M” show up. It does not record when there is no motion detected.

Recording mode cannot be modified individually, however below are the recommendations:

Follow the step #3 to turn all channels to motion detection, to turn off motion detection on channel 3 and 4, go to:

Menu > configuration > camera setup > motion setup > motion mask setup

Pick channel 3 and 4, then choose “all off” and enter.

To turn on continuous mode on channel 3 and 4, follow step #3 and pick “MC”.

However, all the channels will be recording both in motion and continuous mode, when channel 3 or 4 detects a motion, it will record in speed as pre configured under “record in motion”.

In addition, "MC" mode allows you to save lots of recording space.

For example, if you set Continuous Record 1/5x or 1/10x ... etc and Record in Motion 1/1x, it records continuously when there is no movement with less frame rate. But, if motion is detected, it records an image with normal frame rate. Therefore, as a result, when you play back, you will see that the images during continuous mode go fast and the images during motion go at normal speed.

Record Setup > Record Configuration > Continuous Record

The machine doesn’t have the ability to manually configure which camera to show up on the multi screen. The only way to do that would be to manually connect the cameras. For examples, if you want to put camera 16, 3, 2, and 7 on a 4-screen display, you need to connect those cameras to channel 1,2, 3 and 4.

Port forwarding settings on the router needs to be modified. For more information on doing that please refer to the manuals of the router or contact the manufacturer’s technical support. This will only work when there is a router between the DVR.

Press the button “Q. lock” and hold for 2 second. Then enter the password to unlock the button.
