Operating Instructions

1. Live View

After setup, the DVR will display live video feeds from all connected cameras on the connected monitor. You can switch between single-camera view and multi-camera grid view using the DVR's interface or the mobile app.

2. Recording Modes

  • Continuous Recording: The system records 24/7, overwriting the oldest footage when the hard drive is full.
  • Motion Detection Recording: The system records only when motion is detected by the cameras. This feature helps conserve storage space. Configure motion detection zones and sensitivity through the DVR settings.
  • Scheduled Recording: Set specific times for the system to record.

3. Playback

Access recorded footage through the DVR's playback menu or the mobile application. You can search for recordings by date, time, or event (e.g., motion detection). The 1TB hard drive provides ample storage for extended recording periods.

4. Night Vision

The cameras feature full-color night vision, providing clear and detailed images even in low-light conditions. This is automatically activated when ambient light levels drop.

5. Remote Access

Using the TSEye mobile app, you can view live feeds, play back recordings, and receive alerts from your surveillance system from anywhere with an internet connection.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning Cameras: Periodically clean the camera lenses with a soft, damp cloth to ensure clear image quality. Do not use harsh chemicals.
  • Checking Connections: Regularly inspect all cable connections to ensure they are secure and free from damage.
  • Hard Drive Management: While the 1TB hard drive is designed for continuous recording, it is good practice to periodically review and back up important footage. The system will automatically overwrite older data when the drive is full.
  • Software Updates: Check the Volteck website or your DVR's settings for any available firmware updates to ensure optimal performance and security.
