Once you have logged in, the NVR will display one or more camera channels in Live View.
How many channels are displayed will depend on how many cameras you have connected as
well as what multi-view mode you have chosen.
After a period of inactivity – configurable in the General Setting submenu described in
Section 4.3 – the NVR will log users out. This will require the current user to re-enter their
password.

SHORTCUT MENU

In Live View mode, right-clicking anywhere
on the screen will bring up the Shortcut
Menu.
This menu allows you to quickly change your
viewing mode as well as moving directly to
a selection of menus, including the Main
Menu.
View - This allows you to view a group of
cameras on screen at the same time. The
number of cameras available will depend on
how many cameras your NVR will support.
The shortcut menu on a 4-channel NVR
will not offer the 8, 9 or 16 camera options,
for example. The arrows to the right of the
options will allow you to select specific
cameras.
Pan/Tilt/Zoom - This will take you directly to the PTZ Control window (See Section 5.1).
The controls will only work with PTZ cameras.
Auto Focus - This option will only work with cameras equipped with auto focus. This feature
is not available on all models.
Color Settings - You can adjust the camera's brightness, color balance, contrast and other
aspects to best suit its operating environment. These changes can be made using the sliders
or by selecting a pre-generated color mode.
Search - This opens the Search and Playback window (See Section 3.5).
Record Status - This opens the Recording Status window which shows how each camera
is programmed to record. It allows the user to quickly change the current status of each
camera. (See Section 3.4).
Tour Setup - This is a shortcut to the Tour Setup window located in the Display window.
This window is used to create a "tour" of channels that your NVR will cycle through. See
Display in Section 4.3 for more information.
Remote Device - This opens the Remote Device window which allows you to access IP
cameras which are located on a different network from your NVR. (See Section 4.5).
Alarm Output - This will take you to the Alarm Output menu - which is also available
through the Advanced Menu. This menu allows you to change how the alarms operate as well
as check on their status. See Chapter 6 for full details.
