enabling you to quickly identify the location of each IP camera, especially when an alarm
occurs. Just upload the pictures of the monitoring locations, and drag and drop the IP camera
icons to the right place on the eMap. Once an alarm event happens, the camera icons will
flash to indicate the event type for you to be alerted immediately and take necessary actions.
Remote Access via Mobile App, Web Browser or CMS
The NVR-E6480 provides central surveillance management capability with the adoption of its
bundled Central Management Software (CMS). With the CMS, the NVR system is expandable
for multi-sites management of up to 64 surveillance channels simultaneously. Besides, users
are able to monitor the NVR via mobile app viewer or the Web browser anytime, anywhere.

Live View is the interface where you see the live views from your cameras. It is where most of
the security professionals access the surveillance system. Aside from keeping an eye on the
video, you may also cycle through View layouts, drag and drop various cameras to the screen,
review a log of events, take snapshots, control PTZ cameras, start or stop recording on a
given channel, trigger Digital output and broadcast or talk to specific cameras. In this section,
you will be given instructions on the said fundamental operations. To start, click Live View tab
to enter live view screen.

5.1 Select a View
In the NVR-E6480 system, a View refers to the layout where the live images of a few cameras
are arranged in proper positions to suit the monitoring purpose. This is very similar to a
Camera Group, which consists of cameras in the same physical location or with the same
camera functions. For example, a View named First Floor may contain the cameras that are
actually placed in the secured area on the first floor. Once created, each camera view is
assigned to a certain channel on the layout style selected by creator.
Based on your User Group permissions, you may or may not own the privilege
1. To create, edit or delete a Public View or a Private View
2. To assign a specific View as default View
3. To see all the cameras included in a Public View. Therefore, you may find
certain view edit functions not available on the View Tool Bar.
To watch a saved View, simply click on it on View List panel.
Above the View List panel title will display
[Current View name]: Camera name

6.1 Read System Alerts and Channel Status
On NVR live view screen, it is essential to observe the system status events. As unexpected
environmental factors or human behaviors may take place to influence your surveillance
system like power failure or internet connection interruption, NVR server may lose the
connection with cameras, and hence you might lose the important video evidence.
6.1.1 Channel Status
The title bar of each channel window displays certain status information about this camera.

It is important to check out the messages pushed into Event panel all the time. These
messages are arranged in a reverse-time order (newest on top, oldest on bottom).
The messages notify you of the following camera or system status:
When NVR server fails to connect a device, to get the video or have disk problems,
it might be caused by a temporary network disconnection in your overall
environment. The connection might recover after the problem is fixed. If not, please
contact your system administrator.

6.1.4 Pop-up Event Playback
Sometimes the instant event playback window would automatically pop up to notify you of
events detected on certain camera sites. As the events in certain sensitive spots will have
higher priority than other channels, your system administrator would apply this “Pop-up Event
Window” function to these cameras. In this way, these critical events will be pushed into your
sight actively.
On the left of the window may list a series of motions detected within the same period. You
may double-click on any entry to see its live view or play back the event. This window would
automatically disappear after a while, and you may still look these events up in the Event
panel.
6.1.5 Hotspot Window
In your Live View screen, the upper left window may sometimes display a camera video
instead of the original channel. This is because the events detected in certain sensitive spots
will have higher priority than other channels. Whichever View you are watching, the events
detected by those cameras will be temporarily displayed in this window to catch your attention.
You can set any other channel on your live view screen to be the default hotspot channel.

7.8 Search by Video Analytics
NVR server is equipped with two useful video analytics that can perform advanced search –
Motion and Tamper.
Motion
- Unlike the typical motion detection method, this motion video analytics algorithm can detect a
maximum of six regions in a view, including rectangle regions and polygon regions.
Tamper
- A camera that has been tampered with is not able to serve its purpose. To avoid this, NVR
offers an algorithm to detect whether any form of tampering has been done to a camera, be it
in the form of redirecting the angle of the camera, de-focusing the camera, covering, or spray-
painting the camera.
To start,
1. Double-click on your desired channel or drag it to the display window. The channel view will
appear in the window.
2. Drag time bar to the target time.

a polygon by selecting the
icon. To draw the lines for the sides of your polygon, click your
cursor to mark the endpoints of each line. Double-click on the final endpoint of the final line to
confirm and highlight the polygon in light blue, as shown in the illustration below. Make sure
your lines connect (a minimum of three lines) to form a closed shape.
