disconnected before changing the Hard Drive. For detailed instructions,

check the user’s manual.

TIP ON CAMERA MOUNTING:

RECOMMENDED TIPS CONTINUED

NOTE: You must have an active internet connection to the System

to be able to perform Remote viewing or playback. Remote access

is dependant on your connection speed, internet trafﬁc and other

network factors - the speed is normally 1~2 FPS (frames per second).

This may impact the audio and PTZ functions.

For faster playback, it is recommended to download previously

recorded video using the backup function and play it back using

Backup Player 2.2 Software - refer to the user manual for details.

Regardless of the network playback speed, video is being recorded

on your system in real time, and can be viewed when you are at the

system or through the backup player.
