Controlling the DVR
There are three ways to control the DVR; using the USB mouse, using the remote controller, or using the
front panel. This section will provide you an overview of the functions used with the remote controller and
the front panel.
Using The Remote Controller.
The remote controller can be used to control the various functions of the DVR. The controller and DVR
come preset to ID 0. If more than one DVR is used at the same location you can set a different ID for each
DVR and controller. See section later in this chapter on how to do this. The following image shows the fea-
tures of the remote controller.
