Mouse Property – Just like with a computer,
you may adjust how fast you need to

included PSS software (see the PSS User Manual included on the Manuals and
Software disk) or you can allow the NVR to set the time by enabling this feature.
Snap Times – This is the number of still
images the NVR will take when you

take up to five shots at a time and
the images can be found through the
Search and Playback window.
