INTRODUCTION
Section 1
The Response 4 Channel DVR provides a total video security solution for 4 channel digital
surveillance supporting duplex (simultaneous playback and record) functionality.
The DVR’s front panel buttons or mouse can operate all DVR menu settings.
Please read before you start:
Always use discretion when installing CCTV surveillance equipment especially
when there is perceived policy. Enquire regarding local regulations applicable
to the lawful installation of video recording/surveillance. Third party consent
may be required.
SAFETY AND INSTALLATION TIPS:
Do not attempt to open the DVR unit with the power adaptor plug connected to avoid any
risk of personal injury.
When installing CCTV camera(s), always follow manufacturer’s advice when using power
tools, steps, ladders, etc. and wear suitable protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles) when
drilling holes. Before drilling holes through walls check for hidden electricity cables and
water pipes. The use of a cable/pipe detector is advisable.
When installing any cameras with this unit, it is advisable to use cable conduit to protect any
video/power extension cables from being exposed externally and to prevent/reduce the
chances of the cables being tampered with. After drilling any hole though an external wall
for a cable, ensure the hole is sealed up around the cable using a sealant to prevent drafts.
To prevent a fire or electrical shock hazard, do not attempt to open the housing while the
unit is exposed to rain, water or wet conditions. There are no user serviceable parts
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.

6.2.1 [RECORD FRAMERATE]
Change the record frame rate for each
channel - see Fig. 6.07. The higher the
record frame rate, the more natural
movement you will see in playback.
Independent setting for each channel is
possible.
For PAL video output format, the system
Fig. 6.07
default value is 12 frames per second
with each channel, which means the system will record 48 frames per second with all
channels. The user can set frame rate as 3 ~ 25 frames per second with each channel.
The maximum value of total frames per second with all channels is 50 frames.
For NTSC video output format, the system default value is 15 frames per second with each
channel, which means the system will record 60 frames per second with all channels.
The user can set the frame rate as 3~30 frames per second with each channel. The
maximum value of total frames per second with all channels is 60 frames.
Press button [SEL] / [CH4] or click the left mouse button to select icon “ ” to increase the
ꢀ
record frame rate for each channel. Press button [CH3] or click the left mouse button on
the icon “ ” to decrease the record frame rate for each channel.
ꢁ
Note: If you set the record frame rate to off, the channel won’t record.
6.2.2 [RECORD QUALITY]
Choose the recording quality from 1 / 2 / 3. The highest recording quality is 3, and the
lowest recording quality is 1. The higher the recording quality is, the higher the video
image quality is during playback. The higher the quality, the more hard disk space will be
consumed. Record frame rate, recording quality and hard disk space will affect the total
recording time of the DVR system.
6.2.3 [RECORD SCHEDULE]
Note: To start motion record, make sure the period that you intend to record is “
” in
the “record schedule” menu. (Green bar - see Fig. 6.08).

6.3.2 [EVENT REC DURATION]
This sets the recording duration (in seconds) after motion recording is activated. Selection
values are “05, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30” (in seconds).
6.3.3 [MOTION DETECTION]
[CHANNEL]
Select the channel (1, 2, 3, 4) for recording
by motion detection (Fig. 6.10).
[SENSITIVITY]
This adjusts the sensitivity of the built-in
motion sensor on the DVR system
while recording. The lower the number,
Fig. 6.10
the higher the sensitivity is. Values are
“1, 2, 3, 4, Off”. The maximum sensitivity level is 1. It is recommended to set at 4.
Note: The system senses movement by the change in picture displayed on the monitor/TV
in the selected area. Even at the lowest sensitivity setting (4), if there are any changes in
light such as a reflections, movement of tree branches, bushes for example, it could cause
the system to start recording, although no approaching objects may be seen during
playback. If the sensitivity is set too high, natural activity such as rain for example may
cause the system to start recording. It is also ideal to point the camera way from trees,
bushes, that might be affected by the wind.
If this DVR is used with a Wireless Colour Camera CCTV Kit (CWFK1) to received
Wireless video, ensure this video viewed on the TV is the best possible reception (i.e, no
interference lines viewed on the TV) between the camera and receiver. If necessary
reduce the distance between the camera and receiver to prevent any interference on the
picture. This is important to prevent the DVR from capturing any unnecessary recordings
of interference when set to motion record. You may find that if the wireless camera is
installed outside the property, then maximum operating range without interference may be
no more than 10m (provided only a single brick wall acts as a barrier between the camera
and receiver).

BACKUP VIA USB MEMORY STICK

Note: The USB memory stick is not supplied with this kit. Please purchase only the
listed USB models in the Appendix section (11.1) as only they are compatible with
this DVR.
The DVR system has an enhanced back-up feature so that it’s possible to transfer the
video data image recorded on the hard drive to a USB memory stick.

2. Move the cursor on to the ‘My Computer’ icon on the desktop and click
the right mouse button.
3. Move the cursor on to the (F:) drive, click the right mouse button and select
‘Format…’ from the menu.
4. Move the cursor on to File system and select ‘FAT32’ by clicking the
left mouse button.
5. Select ‘Start’ to begin the format process.
6. After the process is complete, the USB stick is now ready to use with your DVR.
Before you back up a stream of video data, have the USB memory stick ready and attach
it into the USB port located on the rear panel of the DVR.
In order to save the video data with the back-up device, you should first start with playback
from the required time you wish to back-up (See PLAYBACK WITH TIME SEARCH
FUNCTION section). During playback, press the [MENU] button. Use the [UP] key or
[DOWN] key to move to 'Start time’ or ‘End time’ and press [SEL] button to set the start
and end times of the recorded video data which will be saved on the back-up device.
Whilst playing back, if you want to setup the end time faster, you can press the
[
FWD] button to fast forward the video being played to the desired end time, and then
ꢀꢀ
press [SEL] to select the end time again on the screen again.
Move to “USB copy”, and press the [SEL]
button or click the left mouse button to
back up the selected stream of video data
on to the USB memory stick (Fig. 8.01).

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Section 11
PROBLEM
SOLUTION
The power supply adaptor for the camera(s) or
No picture can be viewed
DVR is not plugged in. Check all video cable
connectors between the cameras and the DVR.
The TV is not tuned to view the correct channel.
Poor picture quality
Clean the camera lens.
Adjust the contrast/brightness on the TV.
DVR doesn't automatically
start recording when set
to motion record when
movement is captured
Ensure the corresponding camera channel is set
for 'Motion detection', the 'Sensitivity' is not set to
'Off' and the 'Motion area' is set up correctly.
(See pages 16 & 17).
The 'Record schedule' must be set to 'Motion
record' (green colour bar) for the required period.
(See pages 14 & 15).
When set to motion record,
the DVR seems to start
recording without seeing
any significant movement
Point the camera away from tree branches or
bushes which may sway in windy weather
conditions. Heavy rain or snow may cause the
DVR to start recording due to the movement of
rain in the picture viewed. To minimise false
recording, set the 'Sensitivity' to '4' (see page16).
The DVR stops recording
automatically and will not
record any further
The hard drive is full. Select 'Yes' in 'overwrite
enable' to allow the DVR to continue recording and
overwriting the earliest recorded video.
(See page 19).
Cannot backup on to a
USB memory stick
Ensure the correct model USB stick is purchased
(see page 34) and formatted to 'FAT32' (see page 25).
