CHAPTER 5  MENUS

Double-clicking on the Setting icon will open the Setting menu window. A total of ten 
interfaces are available through this menu and they contain most of the functions needed 
to configure your DVR. Additional settings are available in the 

Advanced menu covered in 

Section 5.4. In addition to Schedule and Detect, which were covered in Chapter 4, 
available interfaces are: 

General, Encode, RS232, Network, Alarm, Pan/Tilt/Zoom, 

Display and Default. 
 

Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras will be covered in 
Chapter 6 while Alarms will be covered in 
their entirety in Chapter 7.

This window is where the basic settings for the DVR are configured. Your settings will only be 
saved if you click the Save button before exiting the window.

System Time – The date and time
Date Format – Choose from Year-

Month-Day, Month-Day-Year or 
Day-Month-Year

Date Separator – The three options are a dot 

(.), dash (-) or slash (/)

Time Format – Chose between 24-hour 

(military-style) or 12-hour (AM/PM) 
formats

Language – The system currently supports 

English or French. The system will 
need to be restarted for the language 
change to take effect.

Pack Duration – Rather than creating 24-hour long files when a channel is set to record all 

the time, this allows you to set the maximum record length between one to two hours 
(measured in minutes). 

DVR No. – If you are controlling more than one DVR with a single remote, this allows you to 

give each DVR a separate numerical ID. 

Video Standard – This DVR operates using the NTSC standard common to North America.
Auto Logout – This sets the duration of inactivity before the DVR will automatically log a user 

out of the system.

Snapshot – When you enable snapshots in the Schedule menu (Section 4.6), this determines 

how much time will pass between snapshots. You can set the interval from 1 to 600 
seconds (10 minutes).

IMPORTANT! You MUST stop all recording before changing the date or time.

IMPORTANT!  The  overwrite  features  should  be  enabled  before  you  begin 

recording  or  the  DVR  may  not  delete  files  created  before  that  point.  If  this 
occurs, reformatting the hard drive will fix the situation.

DST – In order for your DVR to adjust to 

Daylight Savings Time automatically, 
you should enable the function 
and then set whether DST begins 
and ends in your region based on 
a variable date such as the last 
Saturday of a particular month or a 
specific date.

LCD Shut Down – This will turn off the screen after a period of inactivity. This does not log the 

user out, and it can be set to a different interval than the Auto Logout.

HDD Full – Depending on the number of cameras recording, the size of your hard drive, how 

many cameras are recording and how often, image quality and other factors, your 
DVR’s hard drive can be completely full of recordings in one to four weeks. When it is 
full, the DVR will stop recording unless you set it to overwrite older files. 

 Overwritten files can not be recovered. Important files should be 

backed up onto another device to prevent loss.
