This bit is really easy. You just have to give your DVR a new password or you can use the default password which is “12345”.

Select “Enable Password” if you would like an extra layer of authentication on your DVR. Each time you access the main menu, you will be prompted for your DVR’s password.

Click “Finish” to save the settings. Shortly you will see all connected cameras display on the Live View screen.

C Configure your Email

You can configure an email account for your DVR so that it can send you email alerts when events occur. We recommend using Gmail as it works with your DVR and it’s free! If you don’t have a Gmail address, go to (www.gmail.com) to create one and then input the de-tails here.

Click “Test” to verify that the information you’ve en-tered is correct. After the email test, click “Send UID” to receive an email containing your DVR’s UID so you can use it to access from SwannView Link on your mo-bile device or computer.

Click “OK” to save settings.

D Internet Time

This option allows you to adjust the DVR’s system date and time. The best way to automatically update and maintain accurate time on your DVR is to sync the clock with an Internet Time Service using NTP.

Click the “Sync” button and your DVR will automati-cally synchronize its internal clock with the time serv-er almost instantly.

Click “Next” to continue.

E Daylight Savings

This option allows you to configure your DVR to auto-matically adjust its time for Daylight Savings in your time zone. You can set when daylight saving time starts and ends, for example 2 a.m. on the first Sun-day of a particular month.

If Daylight Savings does not apply to your locale, un-mark the checkbox.

D Alarm Menu Configuration

Before you mount or install the alarm sensors, you have to pair each one to your DVR. It’s recommend-ed that you pair the PIR sensor(s) first, the window/door sensor(s) second, and the keying(s) after that. After pairing each one, you can mount or install them where required.

Right-click the mouse to access the Menu Bar, click “Menu”, click “Alarm” then click the “Alarm” sub-menu. You will see the alarm pairing screen as shown above.

C Installing the Alarm Antenna

The alarm antenna connects here.

Located at the rear of the DVR is a connection for the alarm antenna. Use a clockwise motion to connect. It is recommended to leave the antenna in a vertical position for best reception.

1. This option allows you to alter the length of time that the alarm will be armed when exiting and or af-ter entering to turn off the alarm. This is linked to the “Entry Path” option.

2. You can change this according to how long you want the siren to be activated.

3. Select this to select a paired device.

4. Click this to change the name of the paired device.

5. You can select if a paired device belongs to the gen-eral group or the perimeter group.

6. Enable this if the paired device will be located near an entrance. This gives you extra time (that you have

selected for exit and entry) to disable the alarm before it is activated.

7. When the paired device has been activated, you can instruct the DVR to emit an audio warning, send an email, activate the siren, send a notification to the SwannView Link app and to display a warning on-screen (see above screenshot).

8. Click this to pair the siren.

9. Click this to pair the motion sensors. Click again to stop pairing.

10. Click this to delete a paired device when selected.

11. Click this to apply any changes that you have made.

E Pairing the PIR Motion Sensor

1. Install 3 x AAA batteries into the PIR motion sensor.

2. Click “Begin Pair”.

3. Alert the motion sensor by moving in front of it. The DVR will detect the sensor and add it to the alarm list.

4. Click “End Pair” to finish.

Please note, when the PIR motion sensor has been activated, it will take 30 seconds to activate again.

Group - There are two options available for grouping your sensors. For the PIR motion sensor it is recom-mended that you change this to “General”. This means any movement within the vicinity of the sensor will then alert the siren to be activated when you select “Arm” in the “Alarm Schedule” menu.

Repeat these steps if you have more than one PIR mo-tion sensor. Click “Apply” when finished.

F Pairing the Window/Door Sensor

1. The dry cell batteries are pre-installed so there is no need to open the battery cover.

2. Make sure the magnet sensor and window/door sensor are held together otherwise it will be activated when it is turned on.

3. Flick the switch to “RF” or “RF+ALARM”.

4. Click “Begin Pair”.

5. Activate the window/door sensor by moving the magnet sensor away. The DVR will detect the sensor and add it to the alarm list.

6. Click “End Pair” to finish.

Group - Leave this as “Perimeter”.

Repeat these steps if you have more than one window/door sensor. Click “Apply” when finished.

G Pairing the Siren & Remote Control

1. To pair the siren, install 3 x AA batteries.

2. Press the pair button located at the rear of the si-ren. You will hear a beep sound and the LED will start to flash.

3. Click “Pair Siren”. You will hear another beep to confirm that the siren has been paired.

Click “Apply” when finished.

1. The battery is pre-installed so there is no need to open the battery cover on the remote control.

2. Click “Begin Pair”, then press the “Alarm On” but-ton on the remote control. The DVR will detect the re-mote control and add it to the alarm list.

3. Click “End Pair” to finish.

Click “Apply” when finished.
