The Memo field allows you to include a note about the user or group that is only visible in this
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 MAINTENANCE

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.

4.6 SHUTDOWN

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.

5.1 CONNECTING A PTZ CAMERA

The RS485 connector is used to connect and control PTZ cameras. It uses a single-direction
protocol meaning that it can send commands out to the camera(s) but not receive any data
back from the unit.
The DVR is set by default for RS485 to be disabled for each channel. Therefore, PTZ settings
must be enabled before PTZ cameras can be utilized. This system supports 26 of the most
common protocols including Pelco-D and Pelco-P.
When connecting a PTZ camera, the following should be taken into account:
• Shielded twisted wire is recommended with the shielded layer being used to connect to the
ground. Improper grounding may result in chip damage. We recommend using CAT 5 or CAT
6 wire for this purpose.
• The 485 port of this DVR cannot parallel connect with the 485 port of another device
• The voltage between the A and B lines of the camera should be less than 5V.
STEP 1. The two wires of the data cable from the PTZ camera must be inserted into
the ports labeled A & B as shown in
connected to this port, but you may require an expander port to do so.
STEP 2. The color of these leads will
vary by manufacturer but they should
be labeled "+" or positive and "-" or
negative. The positive wire should be
inserted into port A with the negative
going into port B.
The insulation on both leads should be stripped to expose about 1/8" or 4mm of bare
metal. You must push in the orange tab above the port with a small item like the end of
a paperclip while inserting the wire lead. When the wire is sufficiently inserted, release
the orange tab. Pull gently on the wire to ensure that it is locked in the port.
STEP 3. Connect the other end of the cable to the proper pins in the connector on the
camera
STEP 4. Connect the camera video and power cables as you would any other camera.
