Executing Scripts

A script is like a macro but provides much more power and flexibility. Scripts may be used to control almost all system functions and may be combined in almost any order. To create a script you must be logged on to the DVR5100 remote client application. Refer to the operation manual for the remote client application for instructions on creating scripts. The following table describes actions that are supported in scripts.
