A tour is a series of preset positions that the PTZ camera runs through.
Tours are configured in the camera, not the recorder. For information
on setting tours, refer to the user manual of your PTZ camera.

2. Click PTZ on the right-click menu or the onscreen menu bar.
3. Click Preset.
4. Enter the number of the tour you want to call.
5. Click Run Tour.
Note Some camera models do not support tours and some only
support a single tour. Most cameras that do support tours
require the tour configuration be done through the cameras
onscreen menus, please reference the camera manual or
manufacturer website for details.
Non-Decoding Mode
Non-Decoding Mode stops the HDIP recorder from actively decoding
the live video on the selected channels. Decoding H.264 video is very
resource-intensive, and this function can be used to stop the recorder
from displaying the live video to save system resources. When Non-
Decoding Mode is enabled, there will be no live view for the selected
cameras. The system will continue to record video from those cameras,
and live video can still be viewed on the web viewer and mobile
applications. Use this function if you are setting the camera to capture
more frames per second or use a high bandwidth.
To enable Non-Decoding Mode, follow these instructions.
1. Right click the Live screen and click Non-Decoding Mode.
2. Select the desired channels or click All, or None.
3. Click the Live screen again to escape the Right-Click Menu.
