Front panel controls
Fig. 19
16-channel DVR front panel
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 on the DVR is just to the lower left of the
PANIC
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.
