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.

AUTO MAINTAINENANCE

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.

TV ADJUST

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.

4.5 BACKUP

This window was covered in Section 3.8 Backup

4.6 SHUTDOWN

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.

HARD DISK DRIVE

Your DVR uses a standard desktop computer SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard disk
drive and will support up to a 2TB (terabytes) drive. These drives are the current industry standard and may
be purchased wherever computer parts are sold. Depending on where you purchased your DVR, it may
come with a pre-installed drive. But, we recognize that you may wish to upgrade or replace your drive in the
future so this DVR is designed to make installation and replacement easy for the average user.
It should be noted that while this is the only user-serviceable part within the case and you will not void your
warranty by installing or upgrading your hard disk drive, care must be taken to avoid damage to the other
components within the case.
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK RISK!
The DVR MUST be unplugged from all power sources as well
as from the cameras before opening the case. Failure to do so
can result in damage to the DVR or its components as well as
injury or death.

5.1 INSTALLATION/REMOVAL

It is strongly advised against opening the case when atmospheric conditions present the risk of static
discharge which can damage electronic components.
Whether installing the drive for the first time or removing the old one to install a new one, the steps are
largely the same:
STEP 1
. Disconnect the DVR from the power source as well as any other connections.
