Honeywell HRXD9, HRXD16 manual Live Monitoring

Operation

Live Monitoring

As soon as the DVR completes its initialization process, it will begin showing live video on the attached monitor and playing live audio through the attached speaker. The default mode is to display all cameras at once. Pressing any camera button will cause that camera to display full screen. It displays live video and plays live audio until the user enters another mode.

Pressing DISPLAY cycles the DVR through the different display formats.

The DVR can be set to display full-screen video for a preset dwell time when an Event occurs. Video from the lowest camera number associated with the event sensor will be displayed, the DVR will return to the previous screen format after the event monitoring dwell time expires. While the event monitoring is activated, the monitoring for all other subsequent events will be ignored. Pressing individual camera buttons or the DISPLAY button during event monitoring releases the current event monitoring and displays the selected camera or returns to the previous screen format.

Pressing SEQUENCE causes the cameras to display sequentially. When in one of the multi-view formats, pressing this button will cause the DVR to go through predefined screen layouts (Full Sequence). Or, the bottom-right screen will display live cameras sequentially (Cameo Sequence). Selecting another display mode, or pressing SEQUENCE again exits the Sequence mode. When in one of the multi-view formats, pressing the Left or Right arrow buttons will cause the DVR to go to the previous or the next page. For example, if you press the Right arrow button in the 2x2 format, the DVR changes pages as follows:

If all the cameras in a page are Off, have lost video or are set to Covert (unless the user has authority to view covert cameras), that page will be excluded from the sequence.

Note The Full Sequence for the full sequence monitoring and the Cameo Sequence for the cameo sequence monitoring should be selected in the Display setup screen, Sequence tab (see Display Screen, page 66).

Pressing FREEZE will freeze the current image on the screen until you press the button again. While in the Freeze mode, the icon displays in bottom-left corner if Freeze is selected in the Display setup screen (OSD tab).

To display cameras sequentially on a spot monitor, press SPOT and select the Spot Monitor and Sequence from the menu.
