General - This submenu and its three tabs
enable you to make changes to the
basic settings on your recorder. You
can change the date and time format,
Daylight Savings Time settings, your
time zone, how your recorder deals
with a full hard drive, and indicate
which dates are holidays so that your
recorder will use the appropriate
schedule on the proper day.
Changing the language on your
recorder remotely will cause you
to lose remote connection as it will
have to reboot for the change to take
place. You will be able to reconnect
normally after a few minutes by
logging in again.
Network - This series of menus allows you
to adjust your network settings in the
same way that you would using the
Network window on your system.
These settings are covered at the
beginning of this manual.
Please note that making certain
changes, such as the IP address,
ports and mode of connection can
cause you to lose remote connection
with your recorder. You will have to
log in again using the new settings. In
extreme situations, your recorder will
no longer be able to stream video to
your remote devices until the correct
settings have been restored.
Record Setting
This menu contains the majority of the configuration options for your system. The submenus
contain the settings for network connections, your on-screen display, camera names and etc.
Display - These two tabs contain the
settings for the on-screen display at
your recorder, allowing you to adjust
the GUI transparency, the on-screen
resolution, and in the Tour tab, the
on-screen rotation of the different
channels. While these settings are
best made at your system itself,
this will allow you to remotely make
corrections or adjustments if another
user has made undesired changes.
Channel Setting - You can adjust the video
feed from individual cameras to
compensate for the local lighting
conditions. IP cameras are more
adjustable than standard analog
cameras and more options will be
available when you are logged into an
NVR as opposed to a DVR.
Channel Name - This allows you to customize the camera names that appear on screen.
Default - Use this menu to restore factory defaults for your Network, Storage, Event, System
and - on NVRs - Add Device. Please be aware that reverting to default network
settings may cause you to lose remote access to your recorder until you reconfigure
your system, remote device or remote log in.
