moment for the Setup Wiz-
ard to appear after turning
on your DVR.

full-screen. Other views available are 2 x 2, 1 + 5 and 1 + 7.
Resolution: Select a resolution that is suitable for your TV. 1920 x 1080

Step Four - General Configuration

The DST function allows you to configure your DVR to automatically ad-
just its time for Daylight Savings in your time zone. You can set when
daylight saving time starts and ends.
Enable DST: Click the checkbox if you would like the DVR to adjust the
time when Daylight Savings time begins.
From/To: Here you can define when Daylight Savings applies to your
location, so you’ll need to tell the DVR when it applies to you.
DST Bias: This refers to the difference in minutes, between Coordinated
Universal Time (UTC) and the local time. Select the time that DST has
increased by in your time zone.
The NTP (Network Time Protocol) function allows the DVR to automat-
ically sync its clock with an on-line server, which gives it the ability to
constantly have an accurate time setting. Obviously this is very impor-
tant for a security system and is enabled by default. We don’t recom-
mend changing any of the default settings.
• Click “Previous” to go back to the previous screen.
• Click “Next” to continue.
• Click “Exit” to exit the Setup Wizard.

We recommend that you
create a new email account
that is dedicated to your
DVR. Three email provid-

ferred provider then on
your computer, go to the
relevant website to create
an account. When finished,
input those details here.
Email not working, please try
the following -
1. Check that your email and
password are correct.
2. Located at the front of your
DVR, the network LED (NET)
should be flashing. If you don’t
see this, disconnect then recon-
nect the Ethernet cable or try a
different port on your router.
