Operation Instruction

Event Monitoring

When an event occurs, the DVR will display the camera associated with the event and the icon
if Event Monitoring is set in the Display setup screen (Primary Monitor tab). Setting Event Monitoring to Local Camera
displays the local cameras associated with the event, and setting it to Network Cameras displays the network cameras
associated with the event.
NOTE: Displaying cameras associated with the event from both local cameras and network devices at the same
time is not supported. The camera mode between Local Camera and Network Camera can be selected
in the Display – Primary Monitor setup.
How the cameras are displayed depends on the number of cameras associated with the event. If one camera is associated
with the event, the DVR will display the camera full screen. If two to four cameras are associated with the event, the
DVR will display the cameras on a 2x2 screen. If five to nine cameras are associated with the event, the DVR will
display the cameras on a 3x2 or 3x3 screen. If 10 or more cameras are associated with the event, the DVR will display
the cameras on a 4x3 or 4x4 screen.
Event monitoring lasts for the dwell time set for event recording. After the dwell time has elapsed, the monitor returns
to the previous screen unless another event has occurred. If you want to return to the live monitoring mode before the
dwell time has elapsed, press the

Covert Camera

If a camera is set up as Covert 1 in the Camera setup screen (General tab), that camera will not be displayed unless a
user with Covert Camera View authority logs into the system. However the camera title and status icons will be
displayed on the monitor.
If a camera is set up as Covert 2 in the Camera setup screen (General tab), that camera appears to be Off unless a user
with Covert Camera View authority logs into the system. The camera title will be grayed out and status icons will
not be displayed on the monitor.
NOTE: When a camera is set up as Covert 1, the DVR displays the camera title and status icons on the covert
video. When set up as Covert 2, the DVR displays only the camera title on the covert video.
If a user who has Covert Camera View authority logs into the system, the user can view video from cameras set to
Covert 1 or Covert 2 including the camera titles and status icons.
NOTE: The covert camera function of network devices follows the settings you set in the network device not
in the DVR.

Spot Monitoring

NOTE: Spot monitoring video from network devices will not be supported.
The multiview screen display (2x2 or 4x4) and sequence monitoring is supported on a Spot Monitor. Selecting Spot
after selecting (Monitor) in the Live Monitoring menu allows you to control a Spot Monitor.
Select (Display) → Screen Format in the Live Monitoring menu and then select the screen mode between 2x2
and 4x4 you want to display on a Spot Monitor.
Selecting (Sequence) in the Live Monitoring menu causes the cameras to display sequentially, and selecting
stops sequencing on a Spot Monitor. Any cameras that are Off, have lost video or are set to Covert (unless the user
has authority to view covert cameras) will be excluded from the sequence. When the Spot Monitor is in the sequence
mode, you can set the camera's display dwell time. Refer to Chapter 3 – Configuration – Display Setup section for details.
NOTE: Sequence cannot be used in the 4x4 display mode of the 16-channel.
