Hard Drive) The hard drive is where
the DVR will save footage. It's the same
kind of hard drive you'll find in most
desktop computers.
Hard Drive Caddy) To protect the
hard drive and to make installation
and transport easier, the hard drive
is mounted in the hard drive caddy.
Note that whilst the caddy offers some
protection, hard drives are still quite
fragile - exercise care at all times!
Screen Controls) The basic controls
for adjusting the settings on the screen.
Note that these controls will ONLY
affect the screen, and not the way that
the DVR records or displays footage.
ON/OFF: Turns the screen (but not the
DVR) on and off. This is useful if you
want to turn off the screen (a good way
to save power) but leave the DVR itself
on.
