OPERATING THE SYSTEM
KEYPAD FUNCTIONS (RECORDER)
The DVR Recorder enables recording of live video and individual snapshots from live video. DVR
Menu accesses DVR set-up screens and pre-recorded videos.
1. SHIFT - MENU
SHIFT - MENU switches the source of video output to the monitor between the
raw video coming into the recorder and the video being output by the DVR module. It can
be used to bypass the DVR so its status icons don’t appear on the viewing screen or if the
input/output processing of the video causes undesirable effects during camera motion.
Using these controls to select the source of the video currently being displayed does not
affect what is being recorded.
