The Status Bar
The narrow status bar at the bottom of the Configuration screen contains the following information:

• The recording status of up to 32 camera inputs. Each input is represented by a box, with input (1) on the left and
the highest-numbered input on the right. If the camera detects a motion or alarm event while in Motion or Alarm
mode, the camera input boxes become a certain color that corresponds with the active recording mode, calling
attention to the event.
• The amount of disk space that is full.
• The status of system operation—either Live (not recording) or REC (recording).
