Management: Repair/ Format function.】
3. The user may use AV/ RF switch to select the video input system.
4. Live mode is the pre-set mode after power-on. When it is currently under schedule
recording, system auto enters recording mode.
CF auto repair status, RF channel selection, speaker volume setup, and LCD power
on status can be setup in 【7.7 Power On Setup】.
Do not withdraw the CF card while booting. It may destroy the data stored within
the CF card.
When no images are displayed on the LCD monitor, please check the video source
(line in or RF1~RF4) and NTSC/ PAL switch.

recording frames, video quality, and audio recording. When different recording modes
are triggered, the system starts recording according to the different setup. This kind of
design provides flexibility to ensure efficient recording time and quality.
Example: Work hour from 8:00am to 6:00pm, setup「Schedule Record」to low video
quality with less recording frames to extend the recording time. And off work hour,
setup 「Motion Detection Record」 to enable high video quality with the highest
recording frames, when an event occurs.

used, please make sure that the camera and the main device have been setup to the
same channel. When AV IN input source is used, please make sure that the AV
line is properly connected to the camera (Video/ Audio terminal); otherwise check
the camera video output line connections.
Q: Which type of batteries to choose from?
A: Please use nickel metal hydride (NiMh) or alkaline batteries for power supply.
B. Camera
