SETUP OPTIONS 
5.1 SETUP OVERVIEW 
 The Setup options allow optimization of your DVR unit by adjusting things like camera 
names, recording schedules and more. It is extremely important to setup your DVR 
correctly for several reasons: 
 
• Recording Schedules –Increase the amount of pertinent recorded video that is saved 
on the DVR by optimizing the recording schedule. Optimize the type of recording done 
by adding motion detection to this as well, again increasing the amount of useful video. 
 • DVR Access – By setting up the access passwords, you have better control of the 
types of access any individual may have. This ensures the security and integrity of the 
DVR. 
 • Camera Naming – By naming each camera the location can be easily identified and 
any other pertinent information that may be helpful simply by viewing it on the Video 
Display Area. 
 • Adjusting Camera Color – Optimize the clarity and detail that is recorded by adjusting 
each camera’s color settings.
