Using a Mouse
You can use a mouse instead of the front panel buttons to perform many of the DVR functions. The
following operations are supported when using a mouse during live monitoring.
When in one of the multi-view formats (e.g., PIP, 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4), clicking the mouse button on a
camera image switches that camera to full screen. Clicking the mouse button again returns to the
previous multi-view format.
When in one of the multi-view formats, scrolling the mouse wheel up and down operates the same as
pressing the
DISPLAY button by switching the screen format between PIP, 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4.
