ADVANCED CONFIGURATION
EN
Configuration: General
Language: The language that the DVR's menus, alerts and
other communications will use. Multiple languages are
available.
CVBS Output Standard: Lets you change the Video Out
display from NTSC to PAL. NTSC is used in countries with
60Hz power such as the United States and Canada. PAL is
used in countries with 50Hz power such as Australia and the
United Kingdom.
Resolution: The number of "little dots" that make up an
image. This should be set as high as possible, but equal to
or lower than the maximum resolution your screen/monitor
can display. Things change a little depending on what kind
of monitor you're using, and how it's connected.
The DVR has four formats available, in two different aspect
ratios:
Square (4:3) - 1024 x 768 or 1280 x 1024
Widescreen (16:9) - 1280 x 720 (720p) or 1920 x 1080
(1080p)
•
Square Monitor via VGA: Use one of the 4:3 formats to
correctly align the DVR's output on your screen. Using
a widescreen format will "stretch" the image vertically.
•
Widescreen Monitor via VGA: If possible, use the
widescreen (16:9) format. If your monitor can't display
that resolution, you might need to enable letter-boxing
on your monitor and use a 4:3 format.
•
PC Monitor via HDMI: Choose a format appropriate
for your monitor. If it's a widescreen, use a widescreen
format. Set to the highest option that is equal to or
less than the screen's maximum resolution.
•
Widescreen Plasma/LCD HDTV via HDMI: The
resolution should be set to the maximum your
television can process not display. Typically, this will
be 1080p, as even screens which don't have that many
pixels can still display the image, just with less detail.
Check your television's documentation to learn this
value. If your television can't display 1080p, then use
720p instead.
Time Zone: Particularly important if you've enabled NTP
- set this to the time zone where you happen to be. For
example, people in eastern Australia (Canberra, Sydney and
Melbourne) choose GMT+10:00, whilst the Eastern Time
zone in the USA and Canada is GMT-05:00. (GMT stands for
Greenwich Mean Time - it's the baseline that keeps all the
different time zones in sync.)
Date Format: The format of the date (DD/MM/YYYY or MM
DD/YYYY and so on).
System Date: This can be edited manually, or set to update
automatically by using NTP (see "Configuration: Network:
NTP" on page 21).
System Time: This can be edited manually, or set to update
automatically by using NTP (see "Configuration: Network:
NTP" on page 21).
Mouse Pointer Speed: Move the slider to increase or
decrease the mouse pointer speed.
Enable Wizard: When checked, the DVR will automatically
run the setup wizard when the DVR is switched on. The
wizard itself contains the option to disable it.
Enable ID Authentication: When enabled, the DVR will
require a username and password to access menus, even
for local users.
