Using the DVR with the USB Mouse (Recommended)
The easiest way to operate the DVR is to use the included USB mouse, as it will allow a smooth and intuitive use of
the menu system.
All the functions are used with either the right or left mouse buttons:
Left click:

Selects an item

Confirms a choice
Right click:

Opens the menu shortcuts

Returns one page back in the menu system
NOTE
Unless otherwise stated, all system functions described in this manual are achieved using the mouse.
Using the front panel buttons
The front panel buttons are adequate to operate the DVR, however they are not best suited to constant use. It is
easy to navigate through the display modes, basic settings and menus, but slower and less intuitive than using the
mouse.
Using the remote control
The remote control is similar in use to the front panel, however it supports more functions:
1. Record: Starts or stops manual recording.
2. Address: Displays the remote address.
3. Numbers: In menus, enters values. In the viewing screen, displays the
selected channel.
4. Play: Opens the playback screen
5. Function: Confirm the selection
6. Split: switches between single and 4 channel display
7. D-Pad: Navigates through the menus and switches between the
displayed channels. Return: Confirms the selection.
8. Esc: Exits the current menu
9. Shift: Offers alternatives in the menus
10. Playback controls.
