Operating Instructions
Live View and Recording
Once connected, you can view live footage from your cameras on a connected monitor, or remotely via the Xmeye app on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. The DVR continuously records footage, which can be reviewed later.
Day and Night Monitoring
The cameras are equipped with infrared (IR) LEDs for true day and night monitoring. During the day, the cameras provide full-color video. As light levels decrease, the cameras automatically switch to black and white night vision mode to ensure continuous surveillance.

Motion Detection and Email Notifications
Configure motion detection settings on your DVR to trigger recordings and send instant email notifications to your registered email address when activity is detected. This feature enhances security by alerting you to potential incidents in real-time.
