The Live View Screen
Live View is the default display mode for the DVR. Each camera that's connected to the DVR will be displayed here. You can
check the status and operate your DVR and cameras with the icons and menus on the Live View screen.

Status Icons
Information on the DVR and camera status is displayed as icons on the Live View screen. Each camera will show its own status
icons. Icons are there to give you a quick snippet of what's going on with your cameras - whether your camera has detected
motion or even when your camera is having a connectivity issue. The following is a guide of what each icon represents:
The camera icon indicates that this camera is currently recording. This icon will be the same whether the recording
was scheduled, initiated manually or triggered by motion (though the motion icon will also be present if there's
motion detected).
The motion icon indicates that the DVR is detecting motion coming from this camera. It doesn't necessarily mean it's
recording (the camera icon will be there, too, if that's the case!).
Video Loss indicates that the channel displaying this has lost the feed from its camera. This may be caused by a
disconnected/damaged cable, the camera may have lost power, the camera may have been de-registered from
the channel or the video standard might be wrong (PAL/NTSC).
If you see this icon on-screen (it'll be lurking in the lower right corner by default) it indicates that something has
gone wrong. Click the icon to access the Event Log where you'll get more information about exactly what has gone
wrong.
