Q: Can I search playback by hours and minutes on a TVR 10?
A: Yes, the TVR 10 lets you search by hour and minute.
Q: I want to search for motion events, but I'm having problems?
A: When searching video for motion events, make sure the record option is set to Motion + Alarm, or Motion
OR Alarm.
Q: The IR remote does not work, why?
A: Check the ID code in the TVR 10 and make sure it is set to 255 [default setting]. If you want to program a
different ID number, you will need to program the DVR and the IR remote to use the same ID number, be-
tween 1 and 254.
Q: Where do I get the TVR 10 player application so I can playback video on my PC?
A: When you archive a video clip from the DVR via the USB port, the player application will automatically be
added to the export media. The player is also available on the CD that shipped with the DVR.
Q: How do I acknowledge an alarm to shut it off from the front panel?
A: Log in to the DVR and select Utilities. Select Alarm, and click STOP.
Q: What is variable and constant bit rate? When would I use one over the other?
A: Use of variable bit rate helps reduce file size—which means that the HDD can store more days of re-
corded video and less data is needed to transmit over a network, making the DVR more network friendly.
Q: What PTZ protocols are supported?
A: There are over 30 PTZ protocols supported in the TVR 10 including GE RS-422, GE RS-485, Pelco P & D.
Check the user's manual for additional PTZ protocols.
Q: Does the KTD-405 keyboard work with the TVR 10?
A: Yes, if configured properly. The 405 keyboard will not control the DVR front panel, but will enable com-
mand and control of PTZ cameras.
Q: What is the minimum and maximum distance of the IR remote control?
A: It is suggested to use the IR remote control within 2- to 15-feet. This assumes line of sight. Point the
front of the IR remote to the front of the TVR 10.
Q: How do you set up motion detection from the front panel of the DVR.
A: It is easiest to configure motion detection using the mouse or IR remote control.
