3.3.2 Navigating Menus in DS-8000 series DVR

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 cameo 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 pop-up menu that provides access to a large number of features.
