F.A.Q. 1. Why does it take a long time to reboot my DVR? The normal reboot time should be less than 5 seconds. If you experienced a longer time on reboot, it might be because your DHCP server couldn’t be found. You should disable DHCP in MP-4100 unless you are certain the DVR is connected to a DHCP server. 2. When I remote monitor my DVR, the video I get looks jerky even though I set the frame rate as 30fps. Your network bandwidth also affects the smoothness of the video you receive.
