3.1 Introduction to Live View
Live view shows you the video image getting from each camera in real time. The device automatically enters Live View mode when powered on. It is also at the very top of the menu hierarchy, thus pressing the ESC many times (depending on which menu you’re on) brings 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 occurring as soon as possible.

• Multi-screen: showing multiple screens on the monitor simultaneously.
• Auto-switch: the screen is auto switched to the next one. And you must set the dwell time for each
screen on the configuration menu before enabling the auto-switch. Menu>Configuration>Live View>Dwell Time.
• All-day Playback: play back the recorded videos for current day.
• Start Recording: start all-day normal recording or motion detection recording for all channels.
• Aux/Main output switch: the DVR will check the connection of the output interfaces to define the
main and auxiliary output interfaces. When both HDMI and VGA are connected, or either one is connected, it is used as the auxiliary video output for live view, recording and PTZ controls; When neither HDMI nor VGA are is connected, CVBS is used as the main video output for live view playback,
recording, PTZ control and menu operations. When the aux output is enabled, you can do some basic operations in the live view mode for the Aux output; when control is switched to the Aux monitor, no menu is displayed on the main output monitor(s).
