Operating Instructions

1. Local Viewing and Control

• Menu Navigation: Use the USB mouse or remote control to navigate the NVR's on-screen menu. Right-click to access the main menu for settings, playback, and system information.
• Recording: The NVR supports continuous recording, scheduled recording, and motion-triggered recording. Configure these options in the system settings. An internal hard drive (not included) is required for recording storage.
• Playback: Access recorded footage through the playback menu. You can search by date, time, and event.

2. Remote Viewing (P2P)
