Operating instructions

Controlling the TVN 21

There are several ways to control the NVR:

• Front panel control

• Mouse control

• IR remote control

• KTD-405 keypad control (see Appendix)

• Web browser control

You can use your preferred control method for any procedure, but in most cases

we describe procedures using mouse terminology. Optional control methods are

given only when they differ substantially from mouse control methods.

Using the front panel

The function buttons on the front panel control can be used to operate many, but

not all, of the main functions of the NVR. The LED indicators light up or flash to

alert you of various conditions. The functions available can be limited by setting

passwords. See Figure 7 below for more information.
