3.1 Introduction of Live View

Live view shows 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 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 right top of the screen for each channel, showing the status of the record and alarm in the channel, so that you can know whether the channel is recorded, or whether there are alarms occur as soon as possible.

3.2 Operations in Live View Mode

In live view mode, there are many functions provided. The functions are listed below.

• Single Screen: show only one screen on the monitor.

• Multi-screen: show multiple screens on the monitor simultaneously.

• Start Auto-switch: the screen is auto switched to the next one. Set the dwell time for each screen on

the configuration menu before enabling the auto-switch in Menu > System Configuration > Live View > Dwell Time.

• Start Recording: normal record and motion detection record are supported.

• Output Mode: select the output mode to Standard, Bright, Gentle or Vivid.

• Playback: play back the recorded videos for current day.

• Aux/Main Monitor: the DVR checks the connection of the output interfaces to define the main and

auxiliary output interfaces. When the aux output is enabled, the main output cannot do any operation, and you can do some basic operation on the live view mode for the Aux output.

The DVR supports independent VGA and HDMI output, and simultaneous VGA/HDMI output. In the independent output mode, the priority level for the main and aux output is HDMI > VGA. The CVBS output serves only as the aux output or live view output. The priority relationship is shown in Table 3-3. In the simultaneous output mode, VGA/HDMI output is the main output, and CVBS output is the aux output.

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

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

The DVR only supports VCA information overlay of 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 enabled 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.
