NetViewer - Setup
In the SETUP you can change the camera record settings. You can turn each channel
on or off, select the recording resolution & quality, turn on or off the audio, select
a record mode and set up the record schedule. Note that you must be logged in
using the ADMINISTRATOR password to be able to change options.
Most of the options that you will fi nd here operate in exactly the same manner
as on your DVR. However, as this software can be used to control a few different
models of DVR, occasionally an option will be displayed which has no effect on your
DVR. Don't worry about these settings - they won't interfere with the operation
of your DVR.
Setup: Record
Here you'll fi nd the same options
as the Record Options menu in the
DVR. You can change the resolution
and quality settings, enable and
disable audio as well as change the
record mode for each channel.
Also accessible from here is the
RECORDING SCHEDULE, which
operates and can be edited in the
same way as the schedule in the
DVR.
Setup: Host Info
Here you'll be able to fi nd
information about your setup.
You'll be able to see how much
space remains on your hard drive,
represented in both GB remaining
and hours of footage at your current
record settings. Also, if you need to
know what version of the software
you're running, this screen will tell
you. Finally, the MAC Address of the
DVR is also found here, if required.
