CHAPTER 4  MAIN MENU SETUP

Before turning on the DVR, ensure that all connections are good.

Connect the power supply and the DVR will power up. The blue LED power indicator on the 
front will illuminate and an on-screen 

WIZARD dialogue box will open allowing the user to set 

up the time and time zone.

CHAPTER 3

If the DVR displays the live image or doesn’t display the menu on start up, the menu can 
be brought up by pressing the ESC button on the DVR or the MENU button on the remote 
control.

The DVR will power down to a standby mode when the POWER button on the remote control 
is pressed, or when the 

SYSTEM SHUT DOWN icon is selected from within the MENU. In 

both cases, the 

SHUT DOWN window will appear and users must select OK to confirm. The 

hard drive will stop spinning and the system will shut down. For extended periods of inactivity, 
it is recommended that the DVR be disconnected from power either by turning off the power 
at the surge protector or unplugging the device.

When a user is logged in, pressing the ESC button on the DVR or right-clicking on the screen 
with the mouse will display the 

CONTROL BAR on the bottom of the screen.
