If anything blocks the vents for airflow it may cause the DVR to overheat and not perform correctly. Plug in all video feeds in the order you wish to display them.

Now, place the cursor over the date and time. Using the scroll wheel on the mouse, adjust the numbers up or down to set the date and time.

To make changes to the recording type or schedule access the main menu and select Setting, Schedule. Choose the cameras from the drop down list and apply the type of recording you wish to use.

To configure Motion Recording go to the Main Menu, select Setting, Detect. To change the region that triggers the Motion Record click “Select” from the Detect screen for each camera by choosing each channel individually or do all cameras at once by choosing “All”.
