TIPS

TRANSFERRING YOUR FILES TO COMPUTER

your files will not transfer correctly to

your computer if the toggle switch is set

to the Q position.

we experience the best results with file

transferring if you use a micro sd card

reader instead of attaching your dvr

directly to the computer.

THERMAL DEVICES

TIPS

-when using the dvr with the ir hunter line

of thermal scopes, you must set the internal

frame rate on the scope to 60fps. if you do not

do this, your video will not export correctly.

-when using the dvr with any thermal device, you

must set the internal [video output] on the scope

or device to the “on” position.

-set the internal FPS on the dvr to 30fps.

-we have cables [sold separately] that will allow

you to utilize your dvr with several thermal

devices, including: FLIR RS, FLIR M18, FLIR LS,

FLIR T70, IR HUNTER, IR PATROL, ETC.

-when using your dvr with a thermal device, we

recommend using our dvr rifle/helmet pouch for

the best possible user experience. this can be

purchased on our website.

for any further questions or trouble shooting

tips, please give us a call or send us an email.
