3.3.2 Navigating Menus
The Operation Manual provides step by step instructions in the early chapters. The
later chapters provide directions without indicating some of the individual key presses
because you will have learned the basics by then. This section provides a brief
overview of navigating through the menus using the control keys and by using the
mouse. With this information you will be able to quickly access most DVR functions.
See the detailed text for further information on particular features.
There are several methods to control the DVR.
• Front Panel Control.
• IR Remote Control.
• Mouse Control.
• Remote Software Control.
The details in the manual concentrate on the Front Panel control method. The IR
Remote control operation is essentially the same using the remote device. There are a
few differences that are mentioned in the manual. Mouse control is an option that can
be used, but is not mentioned throughout the manual. The remote software is
addressed in a separate manual.
Mouse Control: There are some things to consider when using a mouse with the
DVR. A USB mouse is used. There is one USB connection on the rear panel of the
DVR. A USB port expander may be used to add additional USB connectivity to the
DVR. This could be helpful in exporting files to a USB device and when updating the
firmware. Do not place a mouse pad on the top cover of the DVR as this may block the
access holes and cause air flow restriction and heat buildup that may cause damage
to the unit.
Most DVR operations can be performed using the mouse. If you are close enough to
the unit to use a mouse you will also be able to use the front panel and IR Remote
keys for operation. You will decide which operations are more easily performed with
each control method.
In Live View control:
Double click the left mouse key on an individual camera in a multi-screen
display to go to full screen. Double click again to return to the previous multi-screen
display. A right mouse click produces a display menu that provides access to a large
number of features.
