In addition to the buttons on the front of the DVR, your system can be controlled through the USB mouse and the remote control. We have found that the majority of our customers prefer to operate their DVRs using the USB mouse because of its ease of use and flexibility and our manual is set up with this in mind. 2.2 MOUSE The mouse is the default tool for navigating through the menus.

Changing Display Resolution ‘MISSING’ MENU BASIC You can adjust the DVR to optimize its output to best match the capabilities of your monitor or HD display through the following steps: STEP 1. Open the Basic window in the Setup window which is located in the Main Menu. STEP 2. Click on the System tab. STEP 3. Use the Video Output pull-down to select your desired resolution. STEP 4. Click on Apply to save your settings and then click Exit. STEP 5. Your system will restart.
2.5 CAMERAS CAMERA PLACEMENT CONNECTING CAMERAS When installing your camera, it is important to select a proper site not only for field of view, but for other considerations as well: Your DVR uses BNC connectors and ports to ensure quick and secure connections for your cameras’ video cables. While both conventional analog and digital SDI (Serial Digital Interface) high definition cameras use this interface, they cannot be connected to a port intended for the other type because of incompatible signals.
Because your camera is weatherproof, it requires less protection than weather-resistant cameras and it can be placed in more exposed locations if needed. Keep in mind that most Q-See cameras are designed to operate between 14°F to 122°F (-10°C to 50°) with a relative humidity of up to 95%) and consider wind chill and other environmental factors when selecting your location. Specialty cameras are also available from Q-See which are able to operate in more extreme environments.
BASIC FUNCTIONS CHAPTER 3 3.1 POWER ON/OFF 3.2 THE CONTROL BAR When a user is logged in, pressing the ESC button on the DVR or right-clicking on the screen with the mouse will display the CONTROL BAR on the bottom of the screen. Before turning on the DVR, ensure that all connections are good. Menu Screen Display Mode Dwell Color Zoom Volume PTZ Snapshot Move Record Control Bar Playback POWER ON AND LOGIN Connect the power supply and the DVR will power up.
DISPLAY MODE Picture in Picture By clicking on the display mode buttons on in the Control Bar you can quickly configure how your cameras’ video feeds are displayed. The settings here will temporarily override the default configuration made in the Main Monitor tab in the Live menu (see Section 4.2 Live Configuration). You can select whether to view a single channel at a time, two channels in a picture in picture format, or view multiple channels in a split screen mode.
3.3 LIVE VIEWING AND RECORDING 3.4 QUICK PLAYBACK SWITCHING VIDEO OUTPUT As described in Section 2.4 Video Display, the DVR is normally configured to output video signal to a 19” or larger monitor through the VGA port on the back. However, if you have attached a television to the Video Out port instead, then you will need to press and hold the ESCAPE, EXIT or STOP button (depending on model) on the front of the DVR for 10 seconds or until you hear a beep to indicate that the video mode has been changed.
PLAYBACK CONTROL BAR Playback Progress Bar: The slider moves along the Playback Progress Bar as the video plays. Moving this with the mouse will go to another segment of the video. You can move to another point in a single video by first clicking on that channel and then moving the slider to the desired time. Other channels will continue progressing normally.
MAIN MENU SETUP CHAPTER 4 4.1 BASIC CONFIGURATION This chapter is intended to help you get your DVR up and running before you activate any advanced features which are covered in later chapters. You can use the mouse, remote control and the buttons on the front of the DVR to operate your system, but for convenience, we will be discussing operations using the mouse. Information on P.T.Z. cameras and alarms will be found in their own chapters, Chapters 7 and 8, respectively.
Date & Time Tab 4.2 LIVE CONFIGURATION Set date, time, time format and related configurations in this menu. Live configuration includes four submenus: Live, Main Monitor, Spot and Mask. Live Tab IMPORTANT! To maintain the integrity of recorded video, you should set the DVR to the correct date and time before making changes in other menus. Setting the correct date and time before proceeding is essential to maintaining the integrity of your video records - especially for purposes of evidence.
Spot Tab 4.3 RECORD CONFIGURATION This allows select feeds to be viewed on a separate monitor that is connected to the DVR but may be in another room, for example. There will be no menu access on this auxiliary display. QT4 Series DVRs are set to record in real-time (30 frames per second) in the CIF format. Depending on the model, one or more channels may be set to record in the higher resolution in real-time, or all channels may record in D1, but at a reduced frame rate.
Time Tab Snap Tab You can set the length of time the DVRs record an event before and after a motion detection or alarm is triggered as well as how long an individual record is preserved. In this tab, you can configure how many still images are taken, the quality of the images and the timing between them when the Snapshot button is pushed on the Control Bar.
4.4 SCHEDULE CONFIGURATION 4.5 NETWORK CONFIGURATION Your DVR is configured to record whenever motion is detected. If this is your desired setting then you will not need to make any changes. However, you may configure each channel to record at specific times based on time of day, motion detection or other sensor input. There are three tabs; Schedule, Motion and Sensor The Network Configuration window is used to control how your DVR works in a networked environment.
Definitions and descriptions of network configuration: Email Tab Parameter Definition HTTP Port The network port number for accessing the DVR from a remote location. The default port is 85 Server Port The port number for data.
Other Settings 4.6 USER MANAGEMENT Commercial ISPs provide their customers with dynamic addresses (IP numbers). These numbers can change from time to time depending upon your service provider. When they do, you will lose the ability to remotely access your DVR from your mobile phone or other out-ofnetwork device. To prevent this from happening, we recommend using a Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS).
4.7 ADVANCED 4.8 FILE SEARCH, PLAYBACK AND MANAGEMENT In this set of commands, the user can erase all the settings, import or export data files to and from the DVR and control who can remotely access the DVR through three submenus: Reset, Import/Export and Black/White List. Access the recordings on the DVR, play them back and backup the recordings to an external storage device. RESET Four submenus appear in this section: Time Search, Event Search, File Management and Image.
EVENT SEARCH IMAGE Selecting this tab will bring up a list of recorded events. Your DVR is configured by default to record when motion is detected. You can choose whether to display events triggered by Motion, Sensor or both. These files are saved as events. This tab functions much as the Event Search tab by allowing you to search for and view the still images captured when you click on the Snapshot icon on the Control Bar. These images are stored on the DVR’s hard drive just as with video files.
BACKUP CHAPTER 5 This DVR supports backing up files to USB flash drives, USB hard drives and USB DVD burners through the USB port on the front panel. Remote backups can be performed over the Internet. Refer to Section 2.4 Remote Backup in the Remote Monitoring Guide. NOTE! External USB hard drives used for backing up data will need to be in the FAT32 format. Most new drives will need to be reformatted before use with this DVR.
DVR MANAGEMENT CHAPTER 6 6.1 INFORMATION EVENT INFORMATION This window lists recorded events. This list can be searched by date, time, type of event and channel. LOG INFORMATION PICTURE 6-4 This window lists user activity within the system. PICTURE 6-1 This window enables the user to monitor the status of the system, its network connection, online users, history and events through five submenus: System, Event, Log, Network and Online Users.
ONLINE USER INFORMATION 6.2 MANUAL ALARM Information on remote users currently connected is displayed in this window. This displays the configuration of the manual alarm. See Chapter 8 for information on connecting and setting up alarms. PICTURE 6-7 Refresh – Updates the list of online users Disconnect – The Administrator can disconnect a selected user from the DVR. That PC will not be able to access the device for five minutes thereafter. PICTURE 6-9 6.
6.4 FIRMWARE UPGRADE This window will display firmware updates that are loaded on a USB flash drive in the front USB port. 6.5 LOGOFF Logging out of the DVR is recommended when there are multiple users or when physical access to the DVR is not restricted. Clicking on the Logoff icon will bring up a window asking for confirmation. After logging off, a user can log back in by clicking on the Menu icon and entering their user name and password. 6.6 SHUT DOWN This is a “soft power down” of the DVR.
PAN/TILT/ZOOM CAMERAS CHAPTER 7 7.1 CONNECTING A PTZ CAMERA All QT-Series DVRs can support one or more Pan/Tilt/Zoom, or PTZ cameras. These cameras connect to the DVR through the same ports as a conventional camera, but the control wires connect through the RS485 block on the back of the DVR. Picture 7-1, below, is only a representation and your actual connector may look different.
Preset Clicking a Setting button in the Preset column will bring up another window Name PRESET - Channel 1 No.
ALARMS CHAPTER 8 Many QT Series DVRs feature connections for external alarms – both input and output. Please consult Chapter 2 Connections and Controls to determine whether your model includes this feature and where the connection block is located. The alarm connector block shown in Picture 8-1 is only a representation and your actual connector may look different. When an event is detected the system can notify local users or send notification to a monitoring service.
8.2 ALARM OUTPUT 8.3 ALARM CONFIGURATION The alarm output port should not be directly connected to a higher power load (greater than 1A) to avoid high current which may damage the relay. Use the co-contactor to establish the connection between the alarm output port and the load. Alarm configuration allows the DVR to begin recording based on input from other remote sensors such as infrared motion detectors or contact alarms which are connected to it.
To Record allows you to determine which cameras will begin recording. Cameras can be set to record individually, in blocks, or all cameras can be activated. To PTZ activates preset, cruise or track functions on selected Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras. Depending on your model of PTZ camera, one of up to 128 pre-set actions can be engaged. Check your camera’s manual for details. Schedule Tab Set by default to always on, the schedule can be altered in the same manner as that used in Schedule in SECTION 4.4.
ALARM OUT Set how the alarms are handled and transmitted in this window. This controls any device attached to the ALARM OUT port on the back of the DVR. There are three tabs; Alarm Out, Schedule and Buzzer. Alarm Out Tab You can set the relay alarm out name as well as the hold time. Hold time is the interval between consecutive alarm activations so multiple events within the interval will not cause the alarm to sound again.
STEP 4. Connect the power and data cables. Press firmly, but do not force them onto the pins or you may damage them. The connectors are “keyed” to ensure they are connected in the proper position. 9.2 CALCULATING THE RECORDING CAPACITY OF A HARD DRIVE While the physical data capacity of a hard drive is fixed, how much video you can record upon it depends on your recording configurations.
APPENDIX 8. To input letters (such as passwords) and numbers click the box behind where text is to be entered, and then a small keyboard will appear. Please select number or letter to input (the default password is 123456), or you can use the digital keys on the front panel, or the digital keys on the remote control. A.1 TROUBLESHOOTING 1.

A.3 RACK MOUNTING The QT446, QT4332, QT4532, QT518, QT5116 and QT536 all use 2U cases and include brackets and screws allowing them to be secured in a standard server rack or server cabinet. These DVRs are designed for horizontal mounting only. The DVR must rest on a shelf sufficient to hold its weight. The included mounting brackets are only intended to keep the system from shifting and they are not sufficient to suspend the DVR alone. You will also need to provide bolts to attach the brackets to the rack.
