2.5 ON-SCREEN MENUS AND WINDOWS
Your DVR will normally display live video from your cameras in the Live Viewing mode. It is configured
to record video only when it detects movement - and for most people, this is sufficient. But, everyone’s
needs are different so we’ve organized the on-screen menu in a way to make it easy for you to do what
you want, quickly and easily.
Right clicking with the mouse will bring up the Shortcut Menu which lets you access the Main Menu:
PICTURE 2.5-1
Menu items are divided by category. You’ll use the items in the Functions section most often. Items in
the Settings area will allow you to set up your system exactly how you want it to operate and the Info
section lets you monitor it. You can switch between items in the same category (i.e. switching to Event
from Camera) from within the window without having to go back to the Main menu.
The “Menu Tree”, on the next page, is your roadmap to your system. Not all models have certain
features, such as alarms. In such cases, the option for that feature won’t appear in the menu.
