5. Operating Instructions
Once the system is powered on, the DVR will boot up. You will typically be guided through an initial setup wizard on the connected monitor to configure basic settings like language, date/time, and network settings.
5.1 Live View
After initial setup, the DVR will display the live view from all connected cameras. You can use the USB mouse to navigate the on-screen menu. Double-click a camera view to enlarge it to full screen, and double-click again to return to multi-camera view.
5.2 Recording
The DVR is pre-configured for continuous recording. You can adjust recording schedules, motion detection settings, and other parameters through the DVR's main menu (right-click on the live view screen to access the menu).
- Continuous Recording: Records 24/7.
