From Stonkam 8/11/17 "it is a feature reserved for adding bus number in the future if the customer needs"

Date & Time

Set for customer location

Schedule

Used to schedule up to 4 recording tasks.

Recording settings include a start & end time as well as day of the week to record.

Note: Recordings are permitted to overlap

Exception

Settings to configure a buzzer when certain errors occur.

Example: Buzzer when camera becomes disconnected

ACC

Displays:

Current voltage of the DVR

Shutdown voltage- If voltage < shutdown voltage then dvr shuts down, powers back on only when voltage exceeds shutdown voltage

ACC Delay- Continued recording after ACC is disconnected. Options are 5,30,60 seconds

Note for ACC Delay the manual states that options are 5,10,15 seconds so there is conflict on which is true

Alarm

Update

Update of Firmware removes all configuration settings!!!

From Stonkam 8/11/17 " Because the firmware is not totally settled for now and we will upgrade it sometimes according to your specifc needs, so it will modify the configuration file when ungrading. after the firmware is sort of settled, it can keep the customer's setting while upgrading. May also cause the D8 to beep uncontrollably until the config is loaded."

Process takes ~ 3 Minutes

Ensure you are using the latest FW version (Stonkam Firmware 20170807)

Eric's note: USB would not mount unless first formatted in the D8. Windows will see the D8 formatting as something it needs to "scan and fix". Do not "fix" this.

Copy the firmware to USB stick or SD card root directory.

Insert the USB Stick into the DVR.

Either:

Reboot the DVR or

Navigate to Menu -> Setup -> System -> Update> Hit OK

Wait for Update Success!

Verify that the update was successful by Menu -> Setup -> System -> Info

Compare the current version to the desired version.

Upgrade Notes

Currently, the upgrade package is deleted from the USB stick after the upgrade process is finished. To prevent having to recopy the firmware to the USB stick rename the file.

Example of Firmware Name: “dv424_upgrade_2017xxxxxxxx”

Change Name to : “dv424_upgrade_never_rename”

Step 2：Copy the package to USB disk or SD card root directory, and insert it to DVR.

Step 3：Power off the DVR and reboot it, then it will auto upgrade. Or in the menu Menu -> System -> Update, click OK to confirm to upgrade. Both method can start the upgrade process.

Eric's note: rebooting the DVR with a "never_rename" firmware file inserted will cause the system to loop

Config

Import

Insert the USB with the appropriate configuration file sv_xml.xml in its root directory

Eric's note: filename must match exactly, you might have to rename if downloaded from the AC

Select the import button

Export

Select Export, Select location (SSD or USB or SD)

Saves sv_xml.xml to location
