PTZ Controls
You can bring up the PTZ Control window by pressing the PTZ button on the remote
controlor the front panel of the DVR. The PTZ control window is not available while
Cruise Mode is active.
Note: the features which will be usable depend
on the capabilities and limitations of your PTZ system.
Here, you'll be able to aim the camera, as well as alter aspects of the lens and iris
confi guration. We'll explain a little more about what each of these does:
1. CHANNEL SELECTION: Select which channel's
PTZ device you wish to control. Depending on
your PTZ Confi guration settings, this may or
may not be the same as the PTZ Command
Address.
2. ARROW BUTTONS: Used to manually move
the camera. The arrow buttons will move the
camera in the selected direction, and the
centre button toggles Auto-Scan ON and OFF.
3. HOME: The HOME button will send the camera
back to its default starting position.
4. ZOOM: If you are using a variable zoom PTZ
camera, you can zoom in or out here. Zooming
in will increase the size of objects in view, at the
expense of reducing the fi eld of view. You may
need to adjust focus when using the ZOOM
function.
5. FOCUS: Adjusts the focal plane of the lens. If
an image is blurry, try adjusting the focus. To
best set the focus, move one direction until
things become clear, and then blurry again.
Move back and forth until you fi nd sharp focus.
6. IRIS: Controls how much light gets into the
camera. If things look too bright (or white)
lower the IRIS value. If things are too dark (or
black) raise the IRIS value. Many cameras do
this automatically.
7. SPEED ADJUSTMENT: By selecting this with the mouse or the arrow buttons,
you are able to change the speed at which your camera will tilt, pan and zoom.
The higher the number, the faster the camera will move.
8. PRESET POINT COUNT: The total number of preset points currently defi ned.

There are two main ways to navigate through the menus on the DVR. One is to use
the included USB mouse. This is the fastest and easiest way to navigate through the
menus, make selections and input information. We highly recommend using the
mouse to operate your DVR.
The other way is to use the buttons on the remote control. This is ideal for times
when your DVR is not within reach or you only want to perform basic functions.
USB Mouse
When a USB mouse is attached to the DVR, it allows for easy navigation and operation
of the menus. In this capacity, the mouse functions in a very similar manner to the
mouse attached to a computer. The left mouse button is used to select, confi rm
choices and otherwise interact with the menu system. The right mouse button
opens the pop-up menu (when pressed in live-viewing mode) or exits a menu (when
pressed whilst in the menu system).
Remote Control
For an explanation of the functions of the buttons on the remote control, see
"Layout of the Remote Control" on page 10. Many of the controls operate in a
similar manner to controls on a DVD player or similar. However, due to the specifi c
and multi-channel nature of the DVR, the functionality of some buttons may not be
immediately obvious.
IMPORTANT:
The DVR displays the menu on only one output at a time. If the DVR is not
displaying the menu on the screen you have connected, press the 0 key on the
remote control to swap displays. Alternately, if the remote isn't handy, you can
press and hold Select for fi ve seconds.
