Setup Wizard: General

The Setup Wizard will run automatically the first time you start the NVR.
The wizard will guide you through all the settings you need to get your NVR up and working, specifically:
• Choosing your Language
• Setting Video Format and Resolution
• Setting the Date Format and your Time Zone
• Configuring your email account settings so that the NVR can send you alerts and the NVR UID
• Synchronizing the NVR's time with an online server
• Choosing the settings for Daylight Savings Time (DST)
• Changing the NVR's Admin account default password
General Configuration
Language: Choose the language you'd like the menu system to be displayed in.
Video Standard: Choose between NTSC (for the USA, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Korea and some other regions) or PAL (UK, Europe,
Australia and some other areas). If this is set incorrectly, images from your cameras will be distorted, black and white, or simply
not appear at all.
Resolution: How many pixels the NVR will output. Typically, you'll want to set this to be equal to the native resolution of your
monitor/television (check the manufacturer's documentation). If your monitor's native resolution isn't an option, then you'll want
to use the highest resolution possible without exceeding the maximum resolution of your monitor.
Time Zone: Choose the time zone you're in. It's really important to select the right time zone if you're using NTP (Network Time
Protocol).
Some common time zones: In the USA, EST (Eastern Standard Time) is GMT -5:00, where PST (Pacific Standard Time) is GMT -8:00.
The UK is GMT +0:00, and the East Coast of Australia is GMT +10:00.
Menu Date Format: How you'd like the date to be displayed. Choose whichever format that's standard in your region.
UID: This is the NVR's Unique IDentifier number which will be used later to connect your PC or SmartPhone to the NVR using
Swann's Peer to Peer technology.
If you need to change any of these settings later, you can find these options here: Main Menu -> System -> General
