The front panel looks and operates much like a VCR combined with a multiplexer. Many of the buttons
have multiple functions. 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: You can also use a USB mouse (not supplied) to navigate through the screens and menus
much like you would on a computer.
Camera Buttons (1 to 16)
Pressing the individual camera buttons will cause the selected camera to display full screen. Buttons 1 to
9 are also used to enter passwords.
In the PTZ mode, pressing the button 1 zooms in the screen and the button 2 zooms out the screen,
pressing the button 3 focuses near and button 4 focuses far, and pressing the button 5 moves to the preset
and button 6 saves the preset.
