operation. You can either leave the battery connected as a
backup or remove it.
Movie storage

supplied). The movies have Full HD 1920x1080 resolution
at 25 f / sec. and are saved in MOV format with H264
compression
It is possible to use micro SD cards of any brand up to
128 GB of capacity.
1 hour of recording occupies an average of 6.6GB so on a
128GB SD card you can hold over 19 hours of recording
hours.
Obviously it is advisable to use motion detection
recording, where possible, in order to record only
meaningful images and not unnecessarily occupy memory
when no action takes place in front of the lens.
Once the memory has run out, the DVR will automatically
overwrite the oldest files if programmed in this way in the
configuration.
The duration of the individual files is also programmable in
the configuration.
Inserting the micro SD card
The first thing to do is to insert the micro SD card in the
appropriate slot in the DVR (6)
It is possible to use micro SD cards with capacities up to
128 GB in CLASS 10 or higher. For greater security, it is
advisable to format the microSD card in FAT32 with a
computer before inserting it into the DVR.
A class 10 SD card has a write speed of 10 MB / s. Do not
use SD cards with lower speeds as they will lead to
malfunctions.
Pay attention to the direction of insertion of the SD card
which will slide into its seat only with the gold contacts
facing the USB socket.
No micro SD card is included in the package.
If you activate the DVR without SD card inserted, the blue
status LED flashes 10 times and then turns off
Charging the battery
Before using the device, it is advisable to fully charge the
battery. To do this, connect the USB port of the DVR to
the computer or to a USB power supply with the cable
supplied.
It is also possible to recharge the battery by connecting
the DVR to a USB mains power supply such as RE-AL4USB
(to be purchased separately).
The autonomous battery charger is also available as an
optional accessory, which allows you to recharge the
battery without being connected to the DVR.
Full charging takes several hours depending on the
battery type and initial charge state. It is recommended
that you comfortably let the charging complete overnight.
Next to the USB socket there is a red LED that turns on
during charging and turns off when charging is complete.
