Rev. 3.0 2/20/2014
This manual is written for the QC800 Series of Network Video Recorders (NVRs) and was accurate at
the time it was completed. However, because of our ongoing effort to constantly improve our products,
and the different capabilities of the three models additional features and functions may have been added
since that time and on-screen displays may change. We encourage you to visit our website at www.Q-
see.com to check for the latest firmware updates and product announcements.
This manual covers the setup and local operation of the NVR. Instructions for configuring the NVR for
remote access, along with instructions for monitoring the NVR using a computer or mobile device, are
contained within the Remote Monitoring Guide which is included on the CD that accompanied your
NVR and which can also be found on www.Q-See.com/support.
Throughout the manual we have highlighted warnings and other important information that will assist
you in operating your new system in a safe and trouble-free manner. Please take the time to read and
follow all instructions and pay attention to alerts as shown below:
