As you can see from the tree above, some sections are 4 layers deep. A break down of how the page displays these layers is below:

The first layer of pages is displayed on the home page of the main menu (please see the image above the menu tree)

Navigating through the next three layers is all done from the same page. Please see a guide below which explains how the page is displayed out so you can see where each layer of pages are located, and the order you need to navigate them


Above shows an image of a page within Setup, which has up to 3 layers of pages under it. The image above labels where each of these layers are listed, so you can see what order you will need to select options to get to the desired page. Selecting the option from 2 (red), then 3 (blue), then 4 (green)

The System section of the DVR menu only has 2 layers of pages within it, and so on the System pages, there is no top bar (2/red), meaning that you will navigate from 3 (blue) then from 4 (green)
