View of Voyager monitor with DVR menu. Use DVR instructions along with remote and mouse for changing DVR settings.

Note 2:

If you have a four (4) camera system (Without optional GSM70006 monitor) the DVR menu settings are only able to be viewed and programmed by following the above cable routing because the Voyager monitor only has four (4) video inputs.

Using one of the camera inputs to the monitor, temporarily connect the AV out of the DVR to a monitor camera input.

You will only be able to view DVR menu when AV out is temporarily connected to monitor camera input.

Plug camera cable back into monitor when done programing.

This method of changing settings has proved to be very successful in eliminating video tampering.

DVR Menu viewing Method 2

With optional GSM70006 monitor

Used for viewing menu and reprogramming the DVR standard default settings instead of using Voyager monitor shown in method 1.

It is recommended to use this for programing only and to unplug / remove from vehicle when done.
