One remote control is included with the DVR. Leave the Remote Control setting at “0” and
the Device Name blank. Use the drop list on “Date Mode” to select the date format you
prefer. MM/DD/YY is the most popular. Time mode can be set to a typical 12 hour AM/PM
format or 24 hour military style. Enter the time and date directly into the boxes on the screen
using the mouse and the pop-up letter controls. Once you have established an internet
connection, the NTP time server feature can automatically monitor the DVRs time/date settings
for you. For now, click on <NTP Setup> and enter the time zone you live in. The GMT zones
in the United States are: Eastern -5:00, Central -6:00, Mountain -7:00, and Pacific -8:00.

TIP:
The most popular hard drive setting is “Recycle” or “Overwrite”
Hard Drive Management Screen
Once the hard disk drive is full, you need to decide if you want the DVR to stop and wait for
your review, or go ahead and keep recording in a loop fashion. Choose the Recycle (overwrite)
feature to keep your DVR in a constant record or ready-to-record mode. If you use constant
recording versus event recording, File Timesets a maximum file size for your recordings to
make them easier to backup. 60 minutes is the typical entry. <Apply><Next>.
