MyDVR: Interface
Preview:
The default splash screen of MyDVR.
The screen layout emulates the multi-channel live view
screen of the DVR, showing you images coming directly from
your cameras in near-realtime (some delay is caused by the
network/Internet connection you’re using to access the DVR).
You can select a single camera, or multi-channel viewing by
using the
Viewing Mode
buttons in the lower right corner.
Playback:
Opens the Playback interface, which operates in
much the same way as the playback interface on the DVR itself.
Settings (Configuration):
Allows access to both the
Local
Configuration
screen and
Remote Configuration
menus.
Local Configuration:
Defines how MyDVR will manage and
save footage/still images to your local PC.
Remote Configuration:
Allows access to the DVR’s settings.
The configurable options are very similar to those you’ll find
in the DVR menus.
Main Viewing Area:
Where images from your camera will be
shown.
Playback / Backup Links:
Quick access to playback and
backup.
PTZ Controls:
For controlling PTZ devices. They operate in the
same way as those you’ll find on the DVR itself.
Image Controls:
You can alter the brightness, contrast,
saturation and hue of your images here. They operate in the
same way as those in the DVR’s menu (see “Camera: Display”
on page 20 for more information).
Viewing Modes:
Choose between single camera viewing,
quad-mode (2 x 2, showing four cameras) and all (3 x 3
showing eight cameras - 8ch model only).
Volume Control:
Alters how loud the audio output from the
DVR will be. Remember that the final output volume will also
be affected by the master volume control of your operating
system, as well as the levels set on speakers or amplifiers
connected to your system.

The overview of the DVR settings presented over the next few pages is just that - an overview.
The full explanation of the DVR’s menu system and configuration options are listed in detail from
page 18 onwards. The DVR’s menu system is functionally very similar to the MyDVR software
interface, and you’ll find more detailed information about all menu options and settings there.
The relevant page for additional information is listed next to each menu screen.
