4.3 BLACKBERRY
The QC DVRs support phones running Blackberry Version 5.0. You will need to install a
program called DMSS in order to monitor your DVR using your BlackBerry smartphone. This
software is available both on the CD that accompanied your DVR as well as via download
from www.Q-See.com/Support. If you are downloading the software, begin with Step 1,
below. Otherwise, copy the software from the CD to your computer’s desktop and begin with
Step 3.
STEP 1. Download the phone software
from Q-See.com/Support by looking
up your DVR’s model number and
then selecting BlackBerry OS Smart
Phone Software.
STEP 2. Extract the files from the
software download. You will have two

these files to your desktop.

NOTE! The file you download will be a .rar formatted archive. We use this
format to compress the file to the smallest possible size to speed up your
downloading. If you need an extraction utility to open it, you can find free
