Chapter 4 ņ Operation
NOTE: This chapter assumes your DVR has been installed and configured. If it has not,
please refer to Chapters 2 and 3.
The DVR’s controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are recording and
playing back video. However, you have much greater control over recording and playing back
video. You can establish recording schedules based on time of day and day of the week. The DVR
allows you to search through the recorded video using much more sophisticated tools than those
available with VCRs. Additional DVR features that are not available with VCRs are remote control
and viewing, and recording video at the same time you are watching previously recorded video.
Turning on the Power
Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in Chapter 2 ņ Installation, it is ready
to record.
Live Monitoring
As soon as the DVR completes its initialization process, it will begin showing live video on the
attached monitor. The default mode is to display all cameras at once. Pressing any camera button
on the remote control will cause that camera to display full screen. It displays live video until the
user enters another mode.
While in the live monitoring mode, pressing the Menu button on the remote control displays the
following Live Monitoring menu at the top of the screen. Pressing the Menu button again hides
the menu. You can navigate through menus and items by pressing the arrow buttons on the remote
control.
