Note: Your DVR may not work properly if the following is not accounted for.
Every DVR comes preset to a video output resolution of 1280x1024. What this means is that any
time an HDMI cable is plugged into an HDTV, it may result with a blank screen even if the DVR is
working properly.
If this occurs, please follow the steps below.
Procedure using a VGA cable:
1. Connect your DVR to a computer monitor or TV screen with a VGA cable (the HDMI cable
should not be connected during this process).
2. Boot up the unit. On the monitor or TV, please make sure the “input” is set to VGA.
3. When the interface loads, you will see the login screen. Enter the login credentials for your
DVR. If this is your first time logging into your unit, the default username and password will
be admin.
4. Once you have logged into your DVR, navigate to the section that says Display. The display
menu allows you to configure resolution and display settings.
