Front Panel Controls

Menu Button

Camera Buttons
Power LED
The front panel looks and operates much like a VCR combined with a multiplexer. The following describes each button
and control. Take a few minutes to review the descriptions. You will use these to initially set up your DVR and for
daily operations.
NOTE: A separate Alarm button on the front panel is not provided. Pressing any button on the front panel resets
alarm output including the internal buzzer when the alarm is activated. However, when you are in the
menu or PTZ mode, you have to exit the menu or PTZ mode first to reset alarm output.
The infrared sensor on the DVR is just to the right of the USB ports. Make certain that nothing blocks the
sensor, or the remote control will not function properly.
When you use wireless communication devices (such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth) near the DVR, the remote
control might not function properly.
You can also use a USB mouse (not supplied) to navigate through the screens and menus much like
you would on a computer.
