2.2 MOUSE
The mouse is the default tool for navigating through the menus. Specific instructions for its use 
within a function appear in the appropriate sections of the manual, but a basic overview is below:
In Live View:
Double-click the left button on any camera 
view in split-screen mode to bring it to full-
screen display. 
Double-click again to return to split-screen 
mode.
Right-click to show the control bar at the 
bottom of the screen. 
Right-clicking again will hide the control bar. 
In Setup:
Left-click to make a selection. Right-click to 
cancel setup or return to previous screen.
To Input Values: 
Move the cursor to a blank field and click. A virtual keyboard will appear which supports 
numbers, letters and symbols. The Shift function will access symbols in addition to upper case 
letters.
Certain values, such as time settings, can be changed using the mouse wheel.
In addition to the buttons on the front of the DVR, your system can be controlled through the 
USB mouse and 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.

2.3 REMOTE CONTROL
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.
There are three models. All use two AAA-sized 
batteries. If the remote’s performance degrades, 
check the batteries as well as that the IR receiver 
window on the DVR is unobstructed. 
NOTE! The remote that shipped with your DVR will be compatible with that 
model. It may not be compatible with other models of DVRs, even those from the 
same series. Your remote may contain buttons for features not available on your 
DVR.
