the individual cameras.

dynamic recording conditions such as image quality and
recording rate.
Event Setup. The Event Setup menu is to configure the
alarm inputs and motion detection.
System Settings. The System Settings menu is used to
configure various system parameters.
Profiles. The Profiles menu is for setting the time frame for
the four available profiles.

Quick Install >
The quick install menu provides easy setup of recording and

time or date is changed and applied, the time of the

lost.
