When the mouse cursor is in a channel display a white magnifying glass icon will appear in the upper left corner of that image. Clicking on this icon will add a blue check mark to it and you will be able to digitally zoom in on a section of the video feed by clicking and dragging to select the area. Right-click or uncheck the icon to return to normal view. This action can be performed in single or multi-screen viewing modes.

4.3 LOGIN, LOGOUT AND MAIN MENU

LOGIN

When the DVR starts up, the default video display is multiple window mode. Click Enter or click the mouse and the System Login screen will be displayed.

IMPORTANT! It is highly recommended that you change your system password after you log on for the first time. Record your changes and keep that information stored securely as the system will prevent access if the incorrect login information is attempted three times within a 30-minute period. If you find yourself locked out of the DVR because of this, wait 30 minutes, reboot the DVR and attempt to log into it again.

Once you have logged in, the DVR will display one or more camera channels in Live View. How many channels are displayed will depend on how many cameras you have connected as well as what multi-view mode you have chosen.

After a period of inactivity – configurable in the General Setting submenu described in Section 5.3 – the DVR will log users out. This will require the current user to re-enter their password.

MAIN MENU

After logging in, you can view – and access - the DVR’s functions through the Main Menu.

There are six submenus available; Search, Info, Setting, Advanced, Backup and Shutdown. Clicking on an icon will take you to that function or the submenu it represents.

The Main Menu can be accessed at any time from the Live View by right-clicking the mouse and bringing up the Shortcut Menu. Pressing the Return button on the side of the DVR will also bring up the Main Menu.
