Turning on the Power

Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in Chapter 2 — Installation, it is ready to record.

Live Monitoring

As soon as the DVR completes its initialization process, it will begin showing live video on the attached monitor and

playing live audio through the attached speaker. The default mode is to display all cameras at once. Pressing any

camera button will cause that camera to display full screen. It displays live video and plays live audio until the user

enters another mode.

While in the live monitoring mode, pressing the

MENU button displays the following Live Monitoring menu on the

right edge of the screen. Pressing the MENU button again hides the menu. You can navigate through menus and
