Connectors USB Connectors There is a total of three USB 2.0 connectors on all models: two on the top side and a single connector on the bottom side. All connectors are functionally interchangeable. The only difference is that a storage device plugged into the connector on the top side is considered “external”, on the bottom side –...

Overlays DVRs support a wide choice of text overlay information displayed on the preview, recorded video, and screen shots. Overlay's position on the screen, font size and background transparency can be adjusted. The overlays are divided into primary and secondary overlay groups. One selection from each group can be displayed on the screen at any time.

Extra overlay is similar to Title overlay. It is an arbitrary text (32x14 characters) that could be entered and saved to/loaded from a file on the internal or external storage device (extra.txt). Additional overlay is similar to Extra overlay and is loaded from addl.txt.
Menu system The DVRs are controlled using a keypad or a standard keyboard and the on-screen menu system. Context-dependent keyboard functions mapping: Functions Outside of the menu Inside the menu Enter, Space Menu Menu Up arrow Rewind by set amount Move up Down arrow Fast forward by set amount...

When set to ON recording starts automatically once the board is powered on with approximately 20-30 second boot delay. Recording format Presents a choice of MP4 or TS (transport stream). Default is MP4 (for compatibility reasons). TS format, which is now supported by most hardware and software players, may be preferable because of better robustness in case of an accidental recording interruption, for example, due to a power loss.

Turn WiFi ping on (available only when WiFi is turned on) Enabling WiFi pings may help with some wireless clients (receiving devices) that keep dropping the connection. Should be turned off normally.
The process maybe a bit more complicated when updating from a relatively old firmware version to the new, WiFi-enabled firmware. Adding WiFi support to the Sensoray’s family of DVRs resulted in a significantly different layout of the firmware. Therefore the process of firmware update may be different when updating from an older version without WiFi support to the version with WiFi support.

System Parameters). Make sure the firmware version now matches that of the firmware obtained from Sensoray. 7. The option “Turn WiFi on” should be now available in Setup menu section (if the WiFi adapter is present).
Customizations Keypad functions The 4000 series DVRs allow creating custom keypad functions and layout. The process is simple and takes 2 steps: assigning custom keypad functions and saving the custom layout to the flash drive. After that the units are customized by loading the custom mapping file.

following procedure. 1. System parameters need to be changed, as desired. 2. Parameters need to be saved to config.txt using "Save system parameters". 3. config.txt needs to be placed into custom.zip file. 4. custom.zip must be loaded using "Update custom.zip" from "Setup" menu. After that custom.zip no longer needs to be present on the flash drive, all the settings are stored in the onboard non-volatile memory.
