Q-See H264 Manual Do Utilizador

This chapter is intended to help you get your DVR up and running before you activate any 
advanced features which are covered in later chapters. You can use the mouse, remote 
control and the buttons on the front of the DVR to operate your system, but for convenience, 
we will be discussing operations using the mouse. Information on P.T.Z. cameras and alarms 
will be found in their own chapters, Chapters 7 and 8, respectively.

Navigation through the user interface is point and click. Double-clicking on an icon within a 
given menu will open that menu, or a submenu. The Main Menu is the starting point to reach 
all of the DVR’s settings and features. Selecting the Menu icon on the left of the Control Bar 
or pressing the Menu button on the DVR and remote control open the Main Menu.
