CONTROLS

CHAPTER 3

This DVR can be controlled through the USB mouse or with the remote control. 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. For your convenience, we also include a remote control which allows you to perform most of the day-to-day functions from a 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. For the purposes of this manual, instructions will be given for using the mouse but the other modes are also presented in this chapter.

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:

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.
