Main Window Elements and Their Functions
Directly Running a Command (by a Double-Click)
Some of the windows accessible from the menu bar allow you to directly run a command by
double-clicking a camera title.
• In live mode, when you double-click a camera
title, the software switches to the DVR to
which the camera is connected, and displays
the live video from the camera.
If the cameras are connected to an
identical DVR, use the channel
selector buttons to switch the live
video as desired.
• In the [DVR Set] window and [DVR Info]
window, both accessible from the DVR
Management menu, double-clicking a camera
title causes the software to retrieve the
information on the DVR to which the camera is
connected (thus providing a function similar to
[Import]).
Similarly, when you double-click a camera title
in the [Alarm Search] window, the software
retrieves the alarm list information.
Working with the Context Menu
The context menu appears when you right-click a camera title or group name. From the context
menu, you can directly run the following commands without having to click a control panel button or
open a menu from the menu bar:
• Expand/Collapse:
Provides the same function as the
buttons.
• Live:
Displays live video in the single-view layout
when a camera is selected; or
Displays live video in the multi-view layout
when a group is selected.
• Play:
Plays back recorded video in the single-view layout
when a camera is selected; or
Plays back recorded video in the multi-view layout
when a group is selected.
• Menu: Opens the [DVR Set] window
• Alarm Search: Opens the [Alarm Search]
window
• DVR Info: Opens the [DVR Info] window
• Tree Edit: Opens the [Tree Edit] window
When "Menu", "Alarm Search" and
"DVR Info" are selected, the DVR
configuration information and alarm
event log are automatically loaded
when switching the screen.
When you double-click a camera title
when working in one of the mentioned
windows, the software displays a
confirmation dialog before it actually
retrieves the DVR or alarm information.
Respond to the confirmation dialog by
clicking the appropriate button.
