VCA information is hidden by default. If the connected analog camera does not support VCA, the icon displays grey and cannot be operated.

For analog cameras, the VCA information includes line crossing detection and intrusion detection.

The DVR supports VCA information overlay of only one channel. If you enable the function of one channel, the other channels will disable the function automatically.

Both single window and multi-window display modes support VCA information overlay.

Only the main output supports VCA information overlay. When switching to the aux output, the VCA information overlay of main output is disabled.

For the analog cameras, if the camera number does not exceed the limit for line crossing detection and intrusion detection, the VCA information overlay can be enabled for all the analog cameras with line crossing detection and intrusion detection. If the camera number exceeds the limit for line crossing detection, intrusion detection, and sudden scene change detection, only the cameras enabled line crossing detection and intrusion detection support VCA information overlay. Disabling line crossing detection and intrusion detection remotely will not affect the VCA information overlay in the local live view.
