CAUTION: Video Loss Events
When a DVR is installed with less than the full complement of cameras connected, unused camera input
settings must be disabled to prevent the DVR from generating Video Loss (VLoss) events for those
camera inputs. In the DVR Configuration menus, disable unused camera inputs as follows:
• Record Settings menu: Camera Speed OFF, Camera Audio OFF (to save disk space)
• Record2 Settings menu: Camera Speed OFF
• Alarms/Signals menu: Channel Speed OFF
Leave the Enable Timers setting set to Off, unless
instructed otherwise and provided specific start and end
timer information.
The timer function can only operate when the ignition is
on. It cannot be set to record when the vehicle is off.
