The front panel looks and operates much like a VCR combined with a multiplexer. Many of the buttons have multiple
functions. The buttons on the infrared remote control, while laid out differently, perform the same functions as those
on the front panel. 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 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 camera buttons. Make certain that nothing
blocks the sensor, or the remote control will 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.
