About this Manual

This manual is written for the QSDR74RTS and QR4174 DVRs. Not all features and
capabilities are shared across all models so you may see features described which are not
applicable or available on your machine. In addition you may see screen images that do not
exactly match those on your display.
This manual was accurate at the time it was completed. However, because of our ongoing
effort to constantly improve our products, additional features and functions may have
been added since that time and on-screen displays may change. We encourage you to
visit our website at www.Q-see.com to check for the latest firmware updates and product
announcements.
Throughout the manual we have highlighted warnings and other important information that will
assist you in operating your new system in a safe and trouble-free manner. Please take the
time to read and follow all instructions and pay attention to alerts as shown below:
WARNING!
CAUTION: Boxes with this icon indicate warnings. To prevent
possible injury or damage to the product, read all warnings before
use.
The remote monitoring functions - including networking, monitoring the DVR over the Internet
and using smart phones - have been compiled in the separate Remote Monitoring Guide
which is included on the disk that accompanied your DVR. It is also available online at our
website, www.Q-See.com and can be found by looking up your product's model number.
