Live view

Description of live view

Live view mode is the normal operating mode of the unit where you watch live

images from the cameras. The NVR automatically enters into live view mode

once powered up. On the viewer, you can see the current date and time, camera

name, and whether a recording is in progress.

Status information

Information on the system and camera status is displayed as icons on the main

and spot monitors. The camera status icons are shown for each camera. Each

icon represents information on a specific item. These icons include:
