ACCESSING CAMERA MENUS
Many settings for different cameras can be programmed to fit your specific needs. For example, the Spectra III
TM
Series camera provides menus
from which you can adjust language settings, motion sensing, create patterns and presets, and other settings directly from the DVR5100. You can
display menus and adjust camera settings from the DVR5100 if your user role has permissions to do so.
NOTE: The instructions in this manual refer to the DVR5100 Control Pad. Refer to Navigating Through Menus with the KBD5000 Keyboard on
page 4 and Navigating Through Menus with a PC Keyboard and Mouse on page 6 for alternate keystrokes if you are using either of these devices.
To access a camera menu:
1. In the live view mode, select a video pane that is displaying a camera for which you want to view its on-screen menu. Refer to Viewing a
Specific Camera on page 27.
The border of the video pane will be green. If the border is blue, you cannot access the camera menu. Press Enter/Shift to change the
mode from PTZ mode to live view mode.
2. Press Menu . A DVR5100 menu appears.
