be brought up by pressing the ESC button on the DVR or the MENU button on the remote

POWER OFF

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

it is recommended that the DVR be disconnected from power either by turning off the power
