Q-See MODEL QC40196 User Manual

CHAPTER 5  MENUS

This is the 

Manual Recording window covered in Section 4.4.

This is the account management window which allows you to add or delete users, create user 
groups, modify the access privileges of users, and create or change passwords.

 There are three pre-configured default users; 
Admin, 888888 and 666666. The first two 
have administrator rights. 
When adding a user, you not only create their 
user name and password, but you can grant 
or deny control over specific activities on the 
DVR, including which cameras that user can 
view or play back. These privileges can be 
changed later by an administrator-level user 
using the Modify User button. Administrator 
Users have control over 60 different functions 
while basic Users have 35 functions that can 
be allowed or denied.

A user or group name can consist of at most eight characters and no two users may have the 
same user name. There is no limit to the number of users or groups. 
The Memo field allows you to include a note about the user or group that is only visible in this 
window.
Toggling the Reusable box allows more than one user to log in using this account
Creating a group gives you the ability to set the access privileges for as many users and any 
users’ rights cannot exceed that of the group they are in.
Selecting Modify Password opens a new window which allows you to select the user whose 
password you want to change. Enter the old password and then the new password twice.

Much like a regular computer, this DVR benefits from being restarted after extended periods of 
operation. 

You can determine when the system will 
automatically reboot and you can optionally 
have it auto-delete old files at that time as 
well. You can set this option to delete files 
that are 1-31 days old.

This control is for use if you have an external 
TV monitor connected to the Video Out. 
It allows you to adjust the picture on the 
television to allow the display to fit the 
margins of that screen.
 

This window was covered in Section 4.8 Backup

This is the preferred method to use when shutting down the DVR. 

When this window is opened, you have the 
option of logging out as a user, switching the 
user, shutting down the system or restarting it.
