Power Up of DVR 

7.1 

AC Power Input Selector 

Before you turn on your DVR, make sure that the AC power selector switch marked with 
110/230V at the back of the DVR is set correctly  to ensure that the  right AC voltage is 
being used. Wrong AC power switch selection may results in power supply damage due 
to power overloading. 

7.2 

Power Up of DVR 

Once the DVR is connected correctly according to the CCTV system requirements, it will 
be ready for powering up. For the first time powered up, the factory default setting will be 
loaded into the DVR for normal operation. 

The  DVR  is  designed  with  watch  dog  timer,  which  monitors  the  operation  of  main 
program  and  resets  the  system  if  the  program  fails  to  perform  correctly.  The  system  is 
also designed to recover from unexpected system interruption event. The watch dog timer 
will reset the DVR and the recovering program will load the last valid system setting into 
the DVR in order to ensure proper system boot-up and operation. 

The power up process will take about 1-2 minutes before the camera live view screen is 
displayed correctly. Please note that if the DVR is NOT properly powered down, there is 
possibility of hard disk data corruption. Proper power down process means shutting down 
the DVR from the Main Menu. 

Once power up, the monitor display will be as shown below depend on the DVR model. 4 
Channel will display in Quad mode, 8/ 9/ 16-Channel split.
