3.1 Introduction
Live View shows real time video image from each camera. The DVR will automatically enter Live View mode
when powered on. It is also at the very top of the menu hierarchy, thus hitting ESC many times (depending on
which menu you’re on) will bring you back to Live View mode.
3.1.1 Live View Icons
In Live View mode, icons at the right top of the screen for each channel show channel’s record and
alarm status, so that you can know if the channel is recorded or see alarms as soon as possible.
