System: System Information & Maintenance
System Information
If you’re looking at the System Information screen, you’ve probably been directed to do
so by Swann Technical Support.
If we haven’t told you to come here, you might be wondering what all the information
means. On a day-to-day level, the answer is very little. However, if you’re still curious -
Device Name: The name that the device considers to be its own and what it will use to
register an IP address with.
The remaining information is for use by Swann’s Technical Support, in the event that
you require assistance. The various model and build numbers help us track down any
known issues, or catalogue new issues as they come to light. It also helps us figure out if
you’re running the most recent firmware on the device, and whether you’d benefit from
an upgrade.
Maintenance
Enable auto reboot: To maintain the operational integrity of the device, it is suggested
that it be rebooted periodically. In much the same way that a computer can become un-
stable if left on for an extremely long time, the device can become unstable. It is strongly
suggested that the device be rebooted at least once per week.
Auto reboot at: Choose when you’d like the device to reboot. Typically, this will be a time
when it’s unlikely there’ll be any activity for the device to record.
Firmware Upgrade: Instructs the device to update its firmware. You’ll only need to use
this option if instructed to do so by Swann Technical Support (remember to export your
configuration first so you don’t have to re-set everything!).
Default Settings: Loads the factory default settings.
Configuration: Creates a file (Export) containing all the settings you’ve customized on
the DVR, including your recording preferences, schedule, user-list and so on or loads
(Import) a previously saved configuration file.
