Image Settings: Gives you access to image adjustment tools, allowing you to adjust
the way the DVR interprets and displays video images. The Image Settings you choose
will affect your recorded footage. Rather than applying the changes after the video has
been processed, the Image Settings affect how the DVR decodes the video it is
receiving from the cameras. The upside of this is that you can use the Image Settings to
dramatically improve the quality of the images being recorded by the DVR. This can be
particularly useful for improving the accuracy of your Motion Detection settings.
Mask: When checked, allows you to create, place and shape a "privacy mask" which
obscures the view of part of the image on the associated channel.

3.2 Output Settings

Output menu is where you can control how the DVR is going to deliver an image to your
television, screen or monitor. You'll be able to
adjust such items as:

screen resolution and position on your monitor
 the audio output,

the appearance of the menus,

the auto-sequence dwell time, and

the sensitivity of the USB mouse.
Resolution: Resolution 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 several 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 HMDI: Choose a format appropriate for your monitor. If it's a widescreen,
