Step One - System Language

Welcome to the Setup Wiz-

ard! The Setup Wizard automatically runs the first time you start your DVR and will guide you through all the important steps to get you up and running. Please be patient as it can take a moment for the Setup Wizard to appear after turning on your DVR.

System Language: Select a language you would like the system menu to be displayed in. Select from English, Russian, French and Spanish.

• Click “Apply” to continue.

• Click “Exit” to exit the Setup Wizard.

2

Step Two - Disable the Setup Wizard

By default, the Setup Wizard will display each time the DVR starts or is re-booted. As the Setup Wizard is only required the first time you turn on the DVR, click the checkbox to disable this.

• Click “Next” to continue.

• Click “Exit” to exit the Setup Wizard.

Step Three - Create a new Password

Use the on-screen keyboard to input text, numbers and special characters.

This step is pretty straight forward, you just have to give your DVR a new password.

Admin Password: The default password is “12345”. Click the dialogue box and enter this password.

New Admin Password: Click the checkbox to enable a new password.

New Password: Enter a new password. The password can be up to 16 characters in length.

Confirm: Enter your new password again to confirm.

• Click “Previous” to go back to the previous screen.

• Click “Next” to continue.

• Click “Exit” to exit the Setup Wizard.

Step Four - General Configuration

Time Zone: Select a time zone relevant to your region or city.

Date Format: Select a preferred display format.

System Date: If the date is not correct, click the calendar icon to select the correct date.

System Time: If the time is not correct, click the clock icon to select the correct time. The time is displayed in 24-hour time.

Live View Mode: 3 x 3 is the default mode and will display up to 8 video channels on-screen. Selecting 1 x 1 will display the first video channel full-screen. Other views available are 2 x 2, 1 + 5 and 1 + 7.

Resolution: Select a resolution that is suitable for your TV. 1920 x 1080

(1080p) resolution will give you the best quality. Make sure your TV supports the resolution selected. When you complete the Setup Wizard, the resolution will change.

• Click “Previous” to go back to the previous screen.

• Click “Next” to continue.

• Click “Exit” to exit the Setup Wizard.

Step Five - Daylight Savings & Internet Time

The DST function allows you to configure your DVR to automatically adjust its time for Daylight Savings in your time zone. You can set when daylight saving time starts and ends.

Enable DST: Click the checkbox if you would like the DVR to adjust the time when Daylight Savings time begins.

From/To: Here you can define when Daylight Savings applies to your location, so you’ll need to tell the DVR when it applies to you.

DST Bias: This refers to the difference in minutes, between Coordinated

Universal Time (UTC) and the local time. Select the time that DST has increased by in your time zone.

The NTP (Network Time Protocol) function allows the DVR to automatically sync its clock with an on-line server, which gives it the ability to constantly have an accurate time setting. Obviously this is very important for a security system and is enabled by default. We don’t recommend changing any of the default settings.

• Click “Previous” to go back to the previous screen.

• Click “Next” to continue.

• Click “Exit” to exit the Setup Wizard.

DVR. Three email providers are supported – Gmail

(gmail.com), Outlook (outlook.com) and Yahoo (yahoo.com). Select your preferred provider then on your computer, go to the relevant website to create an account. When finished, input those details here.
