How do I enable remote viewing from my phone?

Download the Ganz Remote app (or compatible app). Connect the DVR to your router via Ethernet. Use the IP address or DDNS settings in the menu to configure remote access.

Why is the DVR not detecting cameras?

Check that cameras are properly connected to the BNC video inputs and powered. Ensure the camera type (e.g., analog or HD-TVI) matches the DVR settings. Go to Camera Management in the menu to scan for devices.

How do I set up motion detection recording?

Go to Recording Schedule and select Motion Detection mode. Adjust sensitivity and area in Motion Detection Settings. Then schedule recording to Event or Continuous with motion triggers.

Can I back up recorded footage to a USB drive?

Yes, insert a USB flash drive (FAT32 formatted) into the USB port. In Playback mode, select the clip and choose Backup. You can also export via the File Manager menu.

SYSTEM CONFIGURATION – Remote Controller

1. Handheld IR Remote Controller
   

※ If there are multiple DVRs stacked or mounted in a rack, each DVR must be assigned a unique ID number, so that each DVR can be controlled with a single remote controller, referencing each DVR by its own ID.

How to choose which ID to use on the remote controller:

• Press the ID button. The system will display 'INPUT ID'.
• Enter the digits of the unit ID, and then press the ENTER button. (The default unit ID is '01').
• To return back to normal control of the DVR, now press the RETURN button.
• Factory Default Setting: Input unit ID '255' and then press ENTER and RETURN.

CONNECT & POWER ON

• Connect up to 16 CAMERA INPUTS as necessary. The DVR also has LOOP OUTPUTS, so that your video signals can be looped to other equipment, if required. BNC Termination is automatically set by the DVR, depending on the connection type.
• Connect one or more monitors to the DVR using the COMPOSITE, VGA, S-VIDEO or HDMI connections.
• Connect power to the DVR, using the provided AC power cord or DC 12V Power Adapter (depending on model). The DVR will check for proper power connection and emits two beeps if system power test is OK.
• Press the POWER BUTTON on the front panel of the DVR to begin operation.

- The DVR startup screen detects and checks the status of all internal hard drives, and the CD/DVD-RW drive.
