1.4 Remote Control
The NVR may also be controlled with the included IR remote control, shown in 0.
Note:
Batteries (2×AAA) must be installed before operation.
The IR Remote is set at the factory to control the NVR (using default Device ID# 255) without any additional steps. Device ID# 255 is the default universal device identification number shared by the NVRs. You may also pair an IR Remote to a specific NVR by changing the Device ID#, as follows:
Pairing (Enabling) the IR Remote to a Specific DVR (optional):
You can pair an IR Remote to a specific private DVR by creating a user-defined Device ID#. This feature is useful when using multiple IR Remotes and DVRs.
On the DVR:
Steps:
1. Go to General > More Settings.
2. Type a number (255 digits maximum) into the <Device No.> field.
3. On the IR Remote:
4. Press the <DEV> button.
5. Use the Number buttons to enter the <Device ID#> that was entered into the DVR.
6. Press the <Enter> button to accept the new <Device ID#>.
