Watching a Live Feed
The Live Feed mode is automatically started after the DVR boots up. It is also at the very top of the menu
hierarchy, thus hitting the ESC button multiple times (depending on which menu you’re on) will bring
you to the Live Feed mode.
Understanding Live Feed Icons
There are multiple icons on each display in Live Feed mode to indicate different camera status and
settings. These icons include:
Event Icon: Indicates video loss or tampering, motion detection and/or sensor alarm.
Record Icon: Indicates the current channel is recording. The recording may have been started
from a schedule, and/or triggered from motion or alarm.
Manual Record Icon: Enable/disable manual record.
Instant Playback Icon: Instant playback the record in last five minutes.
Audio On/Audio Off Icon: Enable/disable audio for selected display.
Capture Icon: Capture images for the selected display.
PTZ Control Icon: Enable PTZ control mode for the selected display.
Digital Zoom Icon: Zoom in the selected area to the full screen.
Image Settings Icon: Enter the image setting menu for selected display.
Live View Strategy Icon: Set strategy for selected display, including Real-time, Balanced and
Fluency.
Close Icon: Exit out of current setting and return to previous mode.
Note:
Status for video loss is only valid with analog cameras. Event icons will only be displayed when armed,
except for the video loss alarm.
Note:
Live View Strategy setting is only valid with IP cameras.
Operating the Live Feed
In Live Feed mode, you may adjust the settings for individual cameras by left-clicking on the desired
display with the mouse. The selected display will be surrounded with a green border, as shown in Figure
