Date/Time; User; Comm; Local Settings - Q-See QS SERIES Setup Manual

3.4 CONFIGURE

The Configure mode of View DVR allows you to remotely access and change most of the
settings on the DVR itself. With a few exceptions, accessing these settings through View
DVR is identical to accessing them on the DVR itself so we refer you to the User Manual for
in-depth information regarding these settings and their purposes rather than recapping them
here.
Instead, this section will concentrate on instances where the features are either not present on
the DVR or significantly different.

DATE/TIME

An added feature is the ability to synchronize the DVR's clock to that of the PC. The DVR will
stay set to the PC's local time until the user logs off and the next automatic update from the
selected time server occurs. To avoid this reset, disable the Auto update by unchecking the
box.

USER

This area combines both the User settings in the Basic menu with the Online Users feature
in the Information window. In addition to being able to create new user accounts, you are
able to disconnect remote users if you are logged into the DVR as an admin.

NETWORK
This area functions as it does on the DVR, but it is worth noting that making changes in this
area could result in your being unable to reconnect remotely to the DVR!

COMM

As with Network, above, changes made in this area through View DVR could result in you
being disconnected from the DVR and unable to reestablish a connection until such time as
you can make the settings at the DVR itself.

LOCAL SETTINGS

Unlike the rest of the areas in Configure, Local Settings only affects the computer you are
connecting to the DVR with.

Record pack time allows you to set a maximum duration for each file recorded. This allows
for easier playback and transfer of files. If a file reaches the maximum limit, the system will
immediately start a new file to continue the recording.
Snap/Record/Record backup paths This is where you set the destination location for the
computer to save snapshots, video recordings and backup files taken or downloaded in View
DVR. The default folder is in the User folder of the same name as the person logged into the
computer being used to monitor the DVR. Whether you continue to use this folder or create
your own, the program will save files into subfolders entitled "Capture" (snapshots), "Record"
(video recorded from live view) and "Backup" (recorded video uploaded from the DVR's hard
drive. Each folder will be subdivided by the channel of the camera that recorded the image or
video.
