User’s Manual
8
The front panel looks and operates much like a VCR combined with a multiplexer. Many of the buttons
have multiple functions. The buttons on the infrared remote control, while laid out differently, perform the
same functions as those on the front panel. The following describes each button and control. Take a few
minutes to review the descriptions. You will use these to initially set up your DVR and for daily operations.
NOTE: The infrared sensor is just to the right of the
MENU
button. Make certain that nothing blocks
the sensor, or the remote control will not function properly.
NOTE: You can also use a USB mouse (not supplied) to navigate through the screens and menus
much like you would on a computer.
Camera Buttons (1 to 16)
Pressing the individual camera buttons will cause the selected camera to display full screen. Buttons 1 to
9 are also used to enter passwords.
In the PTZ mode, pressing the button 1 zooms in the screen and the button 2 zooms out the screen, pressing
the button 3 focuses near and button 4 focuses far, and pressing the button 5 moves to the preset and button
6 saves the preset.

button has two functions. First, it will reset the DVR’s outputs including the internal buzzer
