Real-Time Monitor
Live monitoring and recorded video playback takes place in the Real-Time Monitor section of
the window. The number of screens being viewed at once is set with the Image View Options
at the bottom of the screen (described below), but at any time, you can double-click on any
channel in multi-view mode to make it a single-screen view. Double-clicking on the screen will
return it to its place in the multi-view display.
At the top of each channel’s video display, there is a set of data and a set of six function
buttons.
The data in the upper left shows the device’s IP address, the channel and the stream rate for
that channel as well as which stream it is using.
The function buttons allow you to perform operations within the display. Each button will only
affect the channel it is attached to. Other channels will not be affected.
