Main Menu
Clicking on any one screen in multi-view mode will bring that screen to full-screen single-view
mode. The exception is in eight-view where clicking on one of the smaller displays will move it
to the larger display. You can also drag channels to a different position on the screen with the
displaced channel relocating to the position of the one that was moved.
In addition to selecting the viewing mode
from the Shortcut Menu using the mouse,
you can also cycle through the modes using
the up and down arrows on the remote or
the front of the NVR. The left and right arrows
on both the remote and NVR front panel will
cycle through which channels are displayed.

Clicking the Realtime Playback icon will cause the window to play back the most recent
video clip recorded by that camera. The duration of this clip is set in the General Settings
menu.
Click the Digital Zoom icon and then select an area of interest within that channel’s video
feed to enlarge the area. Right-click with the mouse to exit the zoom.
Quick Backup allows you to save the current live video to a USB drive inserted into the front
USB port. If no drive is present, you will receive an error message.
Snapshot allows you to take still images which will be saved onto the hard drive. You can
search for these using the same Search and Playback window used to search for video.
See Section 3.5 for full instructions.
Use Add Remote Device to replace the current camera with another camera - or QC DVR -
from your list of connected cameras shown in the Remote Device menu. You cannot add a
camera that is already being displayed using this tool.
If you have a speaker and microphone located near your camera and you have a microphone
located at your DVR, clicking on the Two-Way Talk icon will allow you to talk anyone within
the same area as the camera. The icon will be green while this feature is active. Unclick it to
hear any responses. You can set the number of pictures taken with each click in the General
Settings menu (see Section 4.3).
You can close the controls either by either right-clicking or by moving the mouse out of the
area.
SHORTCUT VIDEO CONTROLS
When the mouse cursor is in the top-center portion of a channel with a live video stream, a
set of shortcut controls will appear. These allow you to perform quick playback and backup
functions, digitally zoom in and add another camera.
