Purpose:

Full Screen Monitoring
When an alarm event (motion detection/video tampering detection/video loss detection) is triggered, the local monitor (VGA or BNC
monitor) display in full screen the video image from the alarming channel configured for full screen monitoring.
If alarms are triggered simultaneously in several channels, their full-screen images will be switched at an interval of 10 seconds (de-
fault dwell time). A different dwell time can be set by going to Menu> Configuration>Live View>Full Screen Monitoring Dwell Time.
Auto-switch will terminate once the alarm stops and you will be taken back to the Live View interface.
For motion detection alarm, you must select the channel(s) you want to make full screen monitoring (Menu>Camera>Mo-
tion>Handling>Trigger Channel).
