Page 30: Recording :Option
Recording ->Option Overwrite: When enabled, the NVR will record over the files already stored on the hard drive. The NVR will always record over the oldest files on your hard drive first. Using the overwrite option is advisable, as the NVR will always be able to record events as they happen. However, it does mean that you’ll need to get important events off the HDD before they’re overwritten. -

Page 39: Alarm : Motion
Device Setting -> Alarm -> Motion How Motion Detection Works The way that the NVR looks for motion is quite straight forward - it’s a process where it compares one frame with the next. A certain amount of “difference” between these two “frames” is interpreted as motion. As a result, the NVR is able to detect when there is a change in the picture. - Page 40 Device Setting -> Alarm -> Motion Sensitivity: The Sensitivity setting is controlled by a slider, allowing you to set a value between 0 and 50. The lower the number, the more sensitive the motion detection will be. There are four time periods which you can define different motion sensitivity values for.
- Page 41 Device Setting -> Alarm -> Motion Motion Detection - Schedule Here you can set the schedule time 7 day 24 hours a week , red box means when motion detect , it will alarm . Action: The action you’d like the NVR to take when motion occurs.
-
Page 42: Alarm : Video Loss
Alarm -> Video Loss Video Loss is regarded as a potential alarm event, and is considered to occur any time that the NVR doesn’t receive an active video signal on any of its inputs. The default behavior of the NVR, when a channel has no incoming video signal, is simply to display “Video Loss”... -
Page 43: Alarm : Exception
Device Setting -> Alarm -> Exception An Exception is any deviation from the NVR’s normal behavior - phrased another way, it’s like saying the NVR’s been working fine except for these events Exception Type: What event type you’d like the NVR to react to. By configuring the Action for these events, you can create any combination of audio alerts (see below) or auto-emails to be sent for different event types. -
Page 44: System : General
Device Setting -> System -> General Video Standard: Here you can choose between PAL and NTSC. PAL is used in Western Europe and Australia, NTSC is used in the US, Canada and Japan. If the NVR’s picture is black and white, flickering or similar, then this is probably caused by the video system being set incorrectly. ... -

Device Setting -> System -> Information If you’re looking at the System Information screen, you’ve probably been directed to do so by Technical Support. If we haven’t told you to come here, you might be wondering what all the information means. On a day-to- day level, the answer is “very little”. -
Page 46: System ：Maintenance

Page 47: System : Shut Down
Device Setting -> System -> Shut down Shutting Down If you want to shut down or reboot the NVR, or simply log out of the user account you’re logged in as, access the Shutdown menu which is accessible via the main menu. To ensure the integrity of your data and recordings, always select Shut Down when powering off the NVR. -
Page 48: Search : Log Search
Device Setting -> Search -> Log Search The Log Search menu will show you recordings that were triggered by the NVR detecting motion. Typically, the majority of recordings based upon “Events” are likely to be recordings triggered by the NVR’s motion detection feature. The search function operates in the same way as the main playback search: the only difference is you’ll select an Event Type rather than a Video Type. -
