Initial Set Up
The Digital BUS-WATCH® system will operate without any user setup
with the default settings, however, it may not show the correct time and date
(Factory Set to Central Standard Time). To set the correct date and time and to
program the system operation to your requirements, please refer to the Menu
Configuration section of this manual.
When accessing the Menu, it is necessary to connect a video monitor to
the Video jack on the front or back of the unit. REI recommends our battery-
powered 5-inch Color LCD monitor, P/N 690484.
Removable Hard Drive Modules
DVR Loading and Unloading
Inserting the Hard Drive: Turn the hard drive key to the unlocked and
off position. Insert the hard drive into the bay. Turn the hard drive key to
the locked and on position, as shown in Figure 8 on Page 15.
Removing the Hard Drive: Turn the hard drive key to the unlocked and
off position. Gently remove the hard drive from the bay.
Note: The Digital BUS-WATCH® R1001 & R4001 will not function
properly if the hard drive key is in the unlocked or off positions. If there is
no hard drive present in the bay but the key is in the locked and on
position, the Digital BUS-WATCH® will still power up normally, the
menus can be accessed, etc.; however, the unit will not be able to record
any video.

Figure 10: Hard Disk Drive Module USB Security Lockout
The REI Removable Hard Drive Modules come with an enhanced
security feature that allows the property to lock out the USB port on the
back of the module, as shown in Figure 10 above. This feature allows
another level of protection, in addition to chain of custody, to ensure that
the information stored on the drive will not be tampered with or erased.
When the keylock on the back of the DVR is switched into the green dot
position, the USB port functions normally and the hard drive will be
recognized by a PC as an external USB hard drive. When the keylock is
switched into the red dot position, the USB port is disabled and a
computer will not be able to access the files stored on the drive.
Regardless of the position of the keylock switch, the DVR is always able
to access the drive, so the switch can be left in the red dot (USB off)
position during normal DVR operation with no adverse effects. In this
situation, the hard drive USB keys can be safely kept with the proper
personnel for added assuredness of video evidence integrity.

Digital BUS-WATCH®R1001 / R4001
Automatic Hard Drive Heater
In order to prevent the possibility of hard-drive damage during
cold periods, the Digital BUS-WATCH® is equipped with a
temperature sensor. The heater is activated when the temperature is
below 40° F and the Digital BUS-WATCH® is turned on via system
switch or timer. The red LED labeled HTR on the front panel indicates
this. The colder the temperature, the longer the heater remains on, with
a maximum of fifteen minutes at the coldest temperatures. When the
unit has completed its heating cycle, it will restart and operate
normally. As the temperature inside the unit drops during operation,
the heater will periodically come on to maintain a working operating
temperature. The unit can operate to temperatures below -40° F. The
menus and the Installers Mode are still operational during the Initial
Drive Warming Period.
Long Term Storage
Although the Digital BUS-WATCH® systems draw very little current
in the stand-by mode, if the systems are installed but not used for an extended
period of time (longer than 2 weeks) it is recommended that the power be
disconnected from the DVR to avoid draining the vehicle battery. The DVR
internal clock will hold time and date for up to 10 years sitting on a shelf, and
the daylight saving time functions will kick in upon re-initialization when
power is applied.
