Enabling or disabling analog cameras

When you turn on the DVR the status of all 16 analog cameras is automatically on
and all the cameras are recording, even if there are not 16 analog cameras
connected. You can disable the unused camera links in order to save space on the
hard drive.
You may also need to disable analog cameras in order to be able to add more IP
cameras to the system. You need to disable one analog camera to add one 4CIF IP
camera, and to disable two analog cameras to add one 720p IP camera.
To enable or disable analog cameras:
1. Enter the Camera Management screen by clicking Camera in the main menu.
2. Determine the number of analog cameras to disable.
3. Click the Status button to enter the Analog Camera Status menu.
4. Clear the check boxes of the cameras you want to disable.
5. Click OK to save your settings.
A confirmation message appears on the screen prompting you to reboot the DVR.
Click Yes to reboot.

Configuring IP cameras

Use the Camera Management menu to set up analog cameras. You can also add or
delete IP cameras as well as set up notification rules only for video loss and motion
detection for IP cameras, if these functions are supported by the IP cameras.
However, most IP camera configurations are set up from the IP camera itself. Refer to
the user manual provided with your IP cameras for more information.
To configure IP cameras:
1. Enter the Camera Management screen by clicking Camera in the main menu.
2. Click Setup in the Camera Management screen to enter the IP Camera Settings
screen.
