Live View On-screen Display
The Live View mode is automatically started after the DVR boots up. It is also at the very top of the menu
hierarchy, thus hitting the ESC multiple times (depending on which menu you’re on) will bring you to the Live
View mode.
Live View Icons
Some icons are provided on screen in Live View mode to indicate different camera status. These icons include:
Event Alarm: Indicates video loss, video tampering, motion detection or relay alarm.
Record: Indicates the current channel is recording. The recording may have been started manually,
from a schedule, and/or triggered from motion or alarm.
