This DVR can be controlled through the USB mouse, the remote control or by using the
buttons on the right side of the device. We have found that the majority of our customers
prefer to operate their DVRs using the USB mouse because of its ease of use and flexibility
and our manual is set up with this in mind. The remote control allows you to perform most of
the day-to-day functions from a convenient distance. It functions as a typical remote control
with additional buttons allowing you to navigate through menus and control functions. We
recommend that you configure your DVR using the mouse controls, reserving the remote
control for operations such as live viewing, file search and playback.
3.1 MOUSE CONTROL
The mouse operates in a manner similar to how it is used on a conventional computer; point-
and-click, right-click, double click and so on. How these functions are used is based on the
context of where they are used. Some examples are:
LEFT CLICK:
Selecting an item
Opening a menu
Checking a box or motion detection status
Selecting letters, numbers or symbols on the virtual keyboard.

VIRTUAL KEYBOARD
The virtual keyboard is contextual. For example, it will only show digits when the field is for
numeral entries. In fields where letters and symbols can be entered, users can switch between
various formats – numbers, upper case, lower case and symbols – by selecting the white
keyboard symbol that will appear to the right of a field where text can be entered. The symbol
itself will change to show which keyboard format is available next.
Available keyboards include:
