17.3 Configuring Sequence Mode
Sequence mode cycles through connected channels to give you an overview of what is happen-
ing on all cameras. You can customize the order that channels appear in Sequence mode, as well
as configure which viewing modes should be used.
To configure Sequence mode:
1. From the Live View display, right-click to open the Quick Menu, then click Main Menu.
2. Click DISPLAY, then click the Sequence tab on the side panel.
3. Choose how many channels will appear on screen when Sequence mode is triggered by mo-
tion detection (you must check Sequence when configuring motion detection — see 12 Mo-
tion Detection, page 37for details).
4. Enter the amount of time in seconds that each channel or page will appear on screen during
Sequence mode.
5. Select a viewing mode to configure. It is recommended to start with View 1 and make your
way to View 9. By default, all viewing modes are included in the Sequence mode cycle.
6. Configure the order of channels shown on screen for each viewing mode. Uncheck channels
/ channel groups that you want to remove from the Sequence mode cycle.
7. Click Apply.
