System Start Up

Default Video Output
The default video output for the DVR system is VGA. If you connect a
BNC (CVBS) monitor on initial setup, you will need to use the mouse
"Scroll Wheel" to switch to the BNC output to be able to use the
mouse. Roll the mouse "Scroll Wheel" backward to go to BNC and
forward to go to VGA. The REMARK screen is shown on startup.

Power On/Off

To power the system On/Off, connect the power
cable to the DC 12V port on the rear panel. Flip
the toggle switch on in the back of the DVR. At
startup, the system performs a basic system
check and runs an initial loading sequence.
After a few moments, the system loads a live
display view.

panel or remote control until the system beeps. The system will begin
