9.2.3 Image adjustment

NOTE

It is important that cameras and monitors are correctly installed and adjusted prior to making any

image adjustments using the DVR’s controls.

If a user who has Colour Control authority logs into the system, the user can adjust

the image. Pressing and holding a camera button for a few seconds displays an

image adjustment dialog. You can control brightness, contrast, hue and saturation

for each camera.

NOTE

Any image adjustments you make will be applied to both the live video on the monitors and the

recorded video.

9.2.4 Sequence Mode

Pressing and holding the Menu button for three seconds or longer causes the

cameras to display sequentially. Pressing one of the camera buttons exits the

Sequence mode.

9.2.5 Event monitoring

When an event occurs, the DVR will display the camera associated with the event

if Event Monitoring On is selected in the Display setup screen (OSD tab).

Event monitoring lasts for the dwell time set for event recording. After the dwell

time has elapsed, the monitor returns to the previous screen unless another event

has occurred. If you want to return to the live monitoring mode before the dwell

time has elapsed, press one of the camera buttons.

9.2.6 Covert camera

If a camera is set up as Covert 1 in the Camera setup screen (Settings tab), that

camera will not be displayed unless a user with Covert Camera View authority logs

into the system. However the camera title and status icons will be displayed on the

monitor.

If a camera is set up as Covert 2 in the Camera setup screen (Settings tab), that

camera appears to be Off unless a user with Covert Camera View authority logs

into the system. The camera title will be greyed out and status icons will not be

displayed on the monitor.

NOTE

When a camera is set up as Covert 1, the DVR displays the camera title and status icons on the

covert video. When set up as Covert 2, the DVR displays only the camera title on the covert video.

If a user who has Covert Camera View authority logs into the system, the user can

view video from cameras set to Covert 1 or Covert 2 including the camera titles

and status icons.
