Executing Scripts
A script is like a macro but provides much more power and flexibility. Scripts may be used to control almost all system functions and may be
combined in almost any order. To create a script you must be logged on to the DVR5100 remote client application. Refer to the operation manual
for the remote client application for instructions on creating scripts. The following table describes actions that are supported in scripts.

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.
