3.1 Introduction to Live View
Live view shows you the video image from each camera in real time. The DVR will automatically enter Live View mode when powered on.
It is also at the very top of the menu hierarchy, thus hitting the ESC many times (depending on which menu you’re on) will bring you to the
Live View mode.
Live View Icons
In the live view mode, there are icons at the top right of the window for each channel, showing the status of recording and alarms for the
channel, so that you can know whether the channel is recording, or whether there are alarms as soon as possible.
