Step 4: Record Method Setup 

This feature allows you to configure when the camera will capture footage. We recommend that you choose Motion Event Record. This setting configures the DVR to record only when motion is detected, saving space on the hard drive and making it easier to review footage when searching the playback feature.

Press Next to continue.

Motion Event Record Very High / Very High / 30 ips High / High / 5 ips Standard / Standard / 3 ips

Step 6: Save and Finish

You have now completed the Quick Setup. If you want to use your DVR in "offline mode" (which prevents remote access to the recorded footage), the setup of your DVR is complete!

If you want to review the DVR footage remotely, complete the following Network Setup steps.

Recorded footage is always available to view locally when a monitor is connected to the DVR set-top box, but you must take a few additional steps to configure the device for remote viewing.

Step 9: DVRNS Name

This part of the setup configures the name you will use to access your DVR remotely. Be sure that the box for Use EZLink is checked to automatically configure the DVR for remote viewing. When naming the DVR you may use letters, symbols and numbers, but it is case sensitive. We recommend using the name of the site or kiosk serial number.

1. Select Test to check the availability of the name.

2. Select Next to proceed when verified.
