EDIT LIVE VIEW CHANNELS

By default, the recorder only allows live video from four network channels at one time on the local server. This protects the processor resources for recording data. The SCS Multi-Site Monitoring software allows you to view live video from multiple recorders at once and has no limitation on the number of live IP based video channels. If more than four channels of live video are required on the local server, you can enable the recorder to show up to 16 channels. Be aware that displaying 16 channels of live IP based video is resource intensive and may dramatically impact system performance.

Note The Edit Live View Channels option is not available on the 64 channel NVS. To enable the recorder to view 16 channels of live video:

1.Click Exit on the display screen and select Restart in Windows Mode.

2.Double-click the Edit Live View Channels icon on the desktop.

3.If you wish to continue, click Yes on the warning window.

The live view display will switch to 16 channel mode. To return the recorder to 4 channel mode, run the utility again using the same instructions.

SCREEN DIVISION BUTTONS

Note When viewing live video from Network Cameras, only 4CH will display at one time. If more live view channels are required on the local server, see the Edit Live View Channels instructions.

1st Four Cameras View – Displays cameras 1-4 in the Video Display Area. To return to a different Multi-Camera View, select a different Screen Division option from the Screen Division menu.

2nd Four Cameras View – Displays cameras 5-8 in the Video Display Area. To return to a different Multi-Camera View, select a different Screen Division option from the Screen Division menu.

3rd Four Cameras View – Displays cameras 9-12 in the Video Display Area. To return to a different Multi-Camera View, select a different Screen Division option from the Screen Division menu.

4th Four Cameras View – Displays cameras 13-16 in the Video Display Area. To return to a different Multi-Camera View, select a different Screen Division option from the Screen Division menu.

1st Nine Cameras View – Displays cameras 1-9 in the Video Display Area. To return to a different Multi-Camera View, select a different Screen Division option from the Screen Division menu.

2nd Nine Camera View – Displays cameras 8-16 in the Video Display Area. To return to a different Multi-Camera View, select a different Screen Division option from the Screen Division menu.

All Camera View – Displays all 16 cameras within the Video Display Area.

Full Screen – The Full Screen Option allows you to view the Video Display Area using the entire viewable area on the monitor. When this is selected, no menu options are visible. You can activate the Full Screen Option by clicking on the Full Screen button within the Screen Division menu. You can deactivate Full Screen mode by right clicking on the screen.

Auto Sequence – Sequences through the Screen Divisions sets. For example, selecting the 1A and then the Loop button will sequence through 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A and then repeat. This option is not available for the 7, 10 and 13 screen divisions.

64 Channel Screen Division

To access channels 17-32, 33-48, and 49-64 on a 64 channel NVS:

1.Mouse over the channel section indicator next to the screen division buttons. The channel section will display as 16X 1, 16X2, 16X 3, and 16X4 to indicate the channel section you are currently viewing

2.Click the desired channel section.

Custom Live View Divisions

Customize your Live View screen by changing the order of the cameras. Each screen division can be individually customized but a camera can only be displayed once (once in 4 camera view, once in 9 camera view, etc). Both analog and IP video cameras can be moved.

Create custom live view divisions:

1.On the Display screen click Setup, and then click General.

2.Click Sequence Setting.

3.Drag and drop cameras from the Channel List to the desired location within the Division Group (4 Division, 9 Division, 16 Division).

SETUP OVERVIEW

The Setup options allow you to optimize your recorder by adjusting things like camera names, reboot schedules, recording schedules and more. It is extremely important that you setup your recorder correctly for several reasons.

Recording Schedules – By optimizing the recording schedule you can increase the amount of pertinent recorded video that is saved on the recorder and keep it longer. You can optimize the type of recording done by adding motion detection to this as well, again increasing the amount of useful video.

Recorder Access – By setting up the access passwords you can tightly control the types of access an individual may have. This ensures the security and integrity of the recorder.

Camera Naming – By naming each camera you can easily identify the location and any other pertinent information that may be helpful simply by viewing it on the Video Display Area.
