Live mode

Live mode is the normal operating mode of the unit where you watch live pictures
from the cameras. The TVR 20 automatically enters into live mode once powered up.
On the display screen, you can see the current date and time, hard drive capacity,
and camera name. To change the information displayed on-screen, see "Information
displayed on screen" on page 89.
TVR 20 has camera autodetection mode so does not record from a channel if no
camera is connected to it.
