5.2.1: Camera Setup
To set up the display name and position display of each camera, go to
[Main Menu Camera] and you will receive a Camera Setup
interface (Shown as Picture 5). Through the Camera Setup interface,
you are able to choose a name for each of your connected cameras
up to 8 characters long. The Camera Setup interface (Picture 5) also
gives you the ability to choose which camera channels you wish to
enable live viewing of and which camera channels you wish to set up
with the ability to record. The Camera Setup interface is also where
you would set your DVR system up to automatically rotate through
your camera views and adjust the image brightness, saturation,
contrast and hue settings of each camera as well.
To set your system up to automatically rotate through your viewed
cameras in the Camera Setup interface, click on the [AUTOSEQ]
button (Picture 5). This will initiate a pop up AUTO ROTATION sub
menu (Picture 5A) that will allow you to choose the amount of time you
would like to view each camera from a drop-down list. Default
rotation time is set at 5 Seconds. However, you can adjust this setting
to range anywhere from 0 to 10 Seconds. Click Apply then Exit.

5.2.2: Record Setup
The right click menu in the Main Interface mode (Picture 3) allows you
to access the Main Menu interface (Picture 4). To set up the recording
parameters and settings of your DVR, go to [Main Menu] [Record] to
enter into the [Record Setup] menu (Picture 6).
The [Record Setup] menu (Picture 6) allows you to turn the recording
status for each camera channel on and off, set the recorded image
quality and enable audio recording. This menu also allows you to
schedule your recording times and set your recording file sizes
through the quality setting.
The [RECORD] button on your Record Setup Menu (Picture 6) allows
you to turn each camera channel’s recording ability on or off. The
[QUALITY] button gives you the option of choosing the quality of your
recorded images from a drop down list for each individual camera
channel. The [AUDIO] button allows you to turn the audio input on or

TIME SCHEDULED RECORDING: To set your system up to record on a time schedule, choose the TIME
SCHEDULE RECORD option on the REC MODE drop down list. To record 24 hours a day, choose the ALWAYS
option from the REC MODE drop down list. To record on motion or a set schedule, select Time Schedule Record
and click the “Schedule” option. Choosing this option will initiate a pop-up SCHEDULE interface which will allow you
to customize your scheduling options as illustrated by Picture 6A. You can choose from a pull down menu at the top
of your SCHEDULE interface to adjust the recording options for all channels or from the channels specified in the
drop down menu if you prefer to set the recording parameters for each individual channel separately.
You are also given the option of setting up the date parameters of your scheduled recordings by choosing from the
drop down menu on the bottom of your Schedule interface in the “From” and “To” options. Checking the ALARM
(motion record), GENERAL (always record) and NO RECORD boxes will allow you to further customize options for
your scheduled recordings.
If you decide that you do not wish to customize your system recording schedule, the Default recording schedule is as
follows:
Hr 01:00 am - 07:59 am: No recording (Not recording)
Hr 08:00 am - 18:59 pm: Normal recording
Hr 19:00 pm - 00:59 pm: Alarm recording (Record on activity or alarm only)
5.2.3: Network Setup
The right click menu in the Main Interface mode (Picture 3) allows you
to access the Main Menu interface (Picture 4). To set up the Network
settings of your DVR, go to [Main Menu] [Network Set] to enter into
[Network Setup] menu (Picture 7).
From the Network Setup menu (Picture 7), you can choose your
Network Type (DHCP, PPPoE, or Static), Port and Web Port (80 and
9000 by default) from a drop down list. Once you have configured
these, you can then view the DVR remotely over a network or the
internet.
5.2.3.1: DHCP
When selecting DHCP as your Network type, your Router will allocate
a DVR IP address automatically once you exit the Network Setup
menu. Write down the address assigned by your Router. It is
recommended you switch to the “Static” Network Type and enter the
address information here to avoid any discrepancies that might occur
in the event your Router auto generates a different address in the
future.
5.2.3.2: PPPoE
When selecting PPPoE as your Network type, you will need to input a
(Picture 7)

QR4074 User Manual
12
(Picture 9)
user name and password provided by your internet service provider. Once you have obtained those settings from
your internet service provider, you will need to set your web port as illustrated in Picture 8.
5.2.3.3: STATIC
When selecting Static as your Network type, you will
need to set the Network setting on the DVR to match
settings of your Router. To do this, bring up the
command prompt on any computer attached to your
Router by typing cmd into your Run program (Picture
9). Type in ipconfig at the prompt (see red arrow on
Picture 9) to access the router settings. Write down
the gateway and subnet mask numbers (Green
arrows on Picture 9) so you can enter them into the
network settings of the DVR (Picture 10).
To set up the Network settings of your DVR, go to
[Main Menu] [Network Set] to enter into [Network
Setup] menu (Picture 10). Select the Static option
from the “TYPE” drop down list on the Network Setup
menu (Picture 10). For the DVR’s IP address, use
the same first 3 sets of numbers as the gateway and
select a fourth set of numbers that is different than any
other device attached to the same router. If the IP
address of your computer in the ipconfig (BLUE arrow
in Picture 9) was a single or two digit number you
should be ok with any three digit number, if the
computer IP address ends with a number in the 100s
then you should use a number in the 200’s. Once you
enter the addresses hit OK button.
At the bottom of the NETWORK SETUP window there
is an option to setup the DVR to be accessed through
a DDNS service. Clicking on this button will pull up a
screen as seen in Picture 11. Through here, you can
set your DVR up to use a Dynamic Domain Name
Service. Keep in mind that a dynamic address can
change from time to time depending upon your service
provider. In the event that it does change, you will
need to go to a website such as
www.myipaddress.com from a computer attached to
the same router as the DVR to figure out what that
new IP address is.
(Picture 10)
(Picture 11)

QR4074 User Manual
13
To avoid a change in IP Address by your Internet Service Provider, you can either ask your service provider for a
static IP Address or use a dynamic domain name service to get a domain name that can be linked to your dynamic
address. You can register for a domain name, user name, and password through our company’s myq-see.com
website. By registering, you can then enter your dynamic domain name into an Internet Explorer browser instead of
an IP address and be directed to whatever the current dynamic IP address is, so that you can always access the DVR
by entering the same address. This DVR also supports the DDNS service provided by dyndns. You can get more
information on how to use these services from the myq-see.com or www.dyndns.com website.
5.2.3.4: Port Forwarding
To access the DVR from a remote computer over the internet you will need to forward port 80 and port 9000 of the
Router the DVR is attached to, to the IP address of the DVR. You can get instructions on how to do this for most
popular routers by going to www.portforward.com. Once there, click on the orange “Routers” hyperlink in the second
paragraph as shown in Picture 12. Find the link to the brand and model of your router from the list of manufacturers
and click the “next button”. From there, click on the orange “Default Guide” link (BLUE box in Picture 13). This will
take you to the port forwarding instructions for your router.
When you access the DVR from a remote computer you also need to use a different address in the Internet Explorer
browser window. Instead of entering the IP address of the DVR you need to enter the public IP address of the router
the DVR is attached to. You can get this address by going to www.myipaddress.com from a computer that is attached
to the same router as the DVR. This website will display your address as illustrated in Picture 14. The example
below shows an IPAddress of 76.254.183.54. Please make sure to take note of the address that you obtain for your
own Router and use it accordingly.

5.2.3.5: Pop-Ups & ActiveX Controls
To access the DVR through Internet Explorer after you have configured your network settings on your DVR to match
the settings of your Router and forwarded your ports as discussed above, you will need to modify your browser
controls to allow Pop-ups. To do this, go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the "tools" option (RED box in
Picture 15), then select the "Pop up Blocker" option and select "Turn Off Pop-up Blocker” (BLUE arrows in Picture 15).
You will also need to enable Active X controls. To do this, go to the Internet Explorer tool bar and select the "tools"
option, then "Internet Options"(GREEN arrow in Picture 15). This will open an Internet Options dialog box as shown
in Picture 16. Through here, choose the "Security" tab (RED box in Picture 16), then click the "Custom Level" button
(GREEN box in Picture 16), then click on OK (BLUE arrow in Picture 16). This will open a dialog box as shown in
Picture 17. Once here, scroll down to the ActiveX Controls and Plug Ins and make sure they are all set to either
prompt (BLUE arrows Picture 17) or enabled (RED arrows Picture 17).
To connect to the DVR from the remote computer you would then open an Internet Explorer browser window and
enter the internet IP of your router that you got by going to www.myipaddress.com.
NOTE: If you cannot use HTTP port 80 or 9000 because it is being used by another program, or it is being blocked by your service provider, you can
use another port in the same range. If you do so then you need to forward the IP address of the router to the other port, change the port in the DVR
NETWORK settings and you need to add the port number after the IP address. For example, if you set the HTTP port as 82, you need to enter the IP
address as 192.168.0.25:82.
User name and password here are the same as what you use on the DVR.

File List
On the [Video search] menu mode, click [File list] and you will get a pop-up menu as shown in Picture 21. From
here, you are able to search through the files associated with all the recorded material each channel has recorded.
This feature allows you to view all of the available files by channel and type (all, normal, or alarm) and you can select
each of these individual files by clicking on the box next to the name of the file. You can also use your system’s
DOWN and FWD buttons to search through the list of recorded files. The files you select can then be backed-up by
clicking on the BACKUP button on your File List (Picture 21). It is possible to backup multiple files should you need
to backup more than one file at a time. As illustrated in Picture 21, the buttons on the FILE LIST interface are:
FIRST: Indicates the first page of recording history you have searched. When you view other pages, clicking [First]
button brings you back to Page one.
PREV: Takes you back to page before the one you are currently viewing (except the first page).
NEXT: Takes you to the page after the one you are currently viewing (except the last page).
LAST:When you view other pages, clicking [Last page] button takes you to the Last page you viewed.
ALL (Select All): Select all the events on current page.
REVERSE: Select the opposite events than your current selection.
5.2.5: Backup Recorded Files
If you want to backup a single recorded file from the file list, from the File List dialog box in Picture 21, select file you
wish to back up by placing a check mark in the accompanying green box and hit the [BACKUP] button on the right of
the screen. You will then receive a pop up screen as illustrated in Picture 22 showing you the progression of your
backup. Once backup is complete, you will then receive a pop up message informing you that you have backed up
your files successfully (Picture 23).Note that all files will be in an H264 format that can be converted to AVI using
the Multi Player program that comes with the DVR or through the net-viewer program. Once converted, you can
then view these files through any program that supports anAVI format.
