Operation

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 (for example, 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 DISPLAY by switching the screen format between PIP, 2x2, 3x3 and 4x4.

•Clicking the right mouse button during live monitoring displays Figure 4-8.

•Selecting Freeze, PTZ… and Spot Monitor… is the same as pressing the FREEZE, PTZ and SPOT buttons as described in the Live Monitoring section of this chapter.

•Selecting Zoom… zooms in on the live image. While in the zoom mode, there are two ways to move around the enlarged portion of the video. First, there is a PIP located in the bottom-right corner. The PIP has a rectangle showing what area of the image has been enlarged. Click inside the PIP to move to another area of the image you want enlarged. Second, click and hold the mouse button on the enlarged video and drag the video.

•Selecting Toggle VGA is the same as pressing and holding DISPLAY for more than five seconds. It switches the video output between Video Out (BNC or SVHS Out) and VGA Out. During clip copy, you cannot switch the output between Video Out and VGA Out.

Caution The DVR will NOT record video for about 3 seconds while switching the video output between Video Out and VGA Out.

•Selecting Display shows Figure 4-9.
