Using a mouse
You can use a mouse instead of the front panel buttons to perform many of the
DVR functions. The following operations are supported when using a mouse during
live monitoring.
When in one of the multi-view formats (e.g., PIP, 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4), clicking the
mouse button on a camera image switches that camera to full screen. Clicking the
mouse button again returns to the previous multi-view format.
When in one of the multi-view formats, scrolling the mouse wheel up and down
operates the same as pressing the Display button by switching the screen format
between PIP, 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4.
Clicking the right mouse button during live monitoring displays the following menu:
