3.1 Introduction of Live View

Live view shows you the video image getting from each camera in real time. The DVR will automatically enter

Live View mode when powered on. It is also at the very top of the menu hierarchy, thus hitting the ESC many

times (depending on which menu you’re on) will bring you to the Live View mode.

Live View Icons

In the live view mode, there are icons at the right top of the screen for each channel, showing the status of the

record and alarm in the channel, so that you can know whether the channel is recorded, or whether there are

alarms occur as soon as possible.
