Event Monitoring

When an event occurs, the DVR will display the camera associated with the event and the icon

displays on screen

if Event Monitoring On is selected in the Display setup screen (Main Monitor tab).

How the cameras are displayed depends on the number of cameras associated with the event. If one camera is

associated with the event, the DVR will display the camera full screen. If two to four cameras are associated with the

event, the DVR will display the cameras on a 2x2 screen. If five to nine cameras are associated with the event, the

DVR will display the cameras on a 1+5, 1+7 or 3x3 screen. If 10 or more cameras are associated with the event, the

DVR will display the cameras on a 4x4 screen.

Event monitoring lasts for the dwell time set for event recording. After the dwell time has elapsed, the monitor

returns to the previous screen unless another event has occurred. If you want to return to the live monitoring mode

before the dwell time has elapsed, press the

LAYOUT button or one of the camera buttons.

Covert Camera

If a camera is set up as Covert 1 in the Camera setup screen (General tab), that camera will not be displayed unless a

user with Covert Camera View authority logs into the system. However the camera title and status icons will be

displayed on the monitor.

If a camera is set up as Covert 2 in the Camera setup screen (General tab), that camera appears to be Off unless a user

with Covert Camera View authority logs into the system. The camera title will be grayed out and status icons will

not be displayed on the monitor.

NOTE: When a camera is set up as Covert 1, the DVR displays the camera title and status icons on the covert

video. When set up as Covert 2, the DVR displays only the camera title on the covert video.

If a user who has Covert Camera View authority logs into the system, the user can view video from cameras set to

Covert 1 or Covert 2 including the camera titles and status icons.
