carefree 0 Posted November 20, 2010 I can't seem to get it to work properly as i got it brand new on the internet but i have one problem that it never came with any software or manuals i have tryed asking the manufactours but they said they stopped making them over 5 years ago and the sold all that model on and they were not very helpful which is sad for a big company like that which they state they look after there customers. So i would like to know if there is any other soft ware i could use for this system or be able to get manuals or any other kind of software so i can get it up and running it has gps on it and gprs also has ps2 socket for keyboard .I have used a ps2 keyboard but can't get all functions on it working right .I would pay for these manuals and disks thats not a problem but i really need help here anyone thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rory 0 Posted November 21, 2010 why are you connecting to the USB? If its to view them on the PC then connect it to a network like a router and try the IP address you set in the DVR in a web browser. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soundy 1 Posted November 29, 2010 I tried to look up your DVR but got many different hits on different brands and models. More information would help, such as specific brand or model names, part numbers, or even photos of the unit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
