Freeze

Selecting (Freeze) in the Live Monitoring menu will freeze the current image on the screen

until you select

again. It is the same as pressing the (Play/Pause) button on the front panel.

While in the Freeze mode, the icon

Display setup screen (OSD tab).

Sequence

Selecting (Sequence) in the Live Monitoring menu causes the cameras to display sequentially.

It is the same as pressing and holding the

MENU button on the front panel for three seconds or

longer. When in one of the multiview formats, selecting Sequence will cause the DVR to go

through predefined screen layouts (Full Sequence). Or, the bottom, right screen will display live

cameras sequentially (Cameo Sequence). For example, if you select the

icon in the 2x2 format,

the 8-channel DVR changes pages as follows:

Full Sequence

Cameo Sequence

Selecting again in the Live Monitoring menu exits the Sequence mode. While in the Sequence

mode, the

icon displays in bottom-left corner if Sequence is selected in the Display setup screen

(OSD tab). If all the cameras in a page are Off, or have lost video or are set to Covert (unless the

user has authority to view covert cameras), that page will be excluded from the sequence.

NOTE: The Full Sequence for the full sequence monitoring and the Cameo Sequence for

the cameo sequence monitoring should be selected in the Display setup screen (Main

Monitor tab).
