VIEWING CAMERAS
NOTE:
You cannot operate the CAMERA buttons when a menu is displayed on the
screen. The buttons do not work when the recorder is accessing a peripheral
recording device or the ARCHIVE, COPY, or PLAY button is flashing.
Press the CAMERA buttons (1-9) buttons to view images from cameras connected to CAM-
ERA IN terminals at the rear of the recorder. If there is no video from a camera, or no cam-
era is connected, the screen is blue. If the camera is not programmed for recording, the
non-operational camera icon appears on the screen (display modes 1-3). Cameras are pro-
grammed in the Define Group Setting menu (refer to
Recording
in the
Programming
section).
You can still view the picture from the camera even it is not programmed to be recorded.
SPLIT/SEQUENCE BUTTON

You cannot operate the SPLIT/SEQUENCE button when a menu is displayed
on the screen. The button does not work when the recorder is accessing a peripheral
recording device or the ARCHIVE, COPY, or PLAY button is flashing.
By pressing the SPLIT/SEQUENCE button, you can switch the display mode as follows:

Smoother images can be viewed when cameras that are not needed are removed from the
cameras designated in the Define Group Setting menus (refer to
Alarms
and
Recording
in
the
Programming
section).
Images are displayed in real time during single-camera display.
Pressing the SPLIT/SEQUENCE button during playback switches the split display options
as follows:

If camera numbers are shown on the screen during sequencing of groups of four or nine
cameras, “-” appears instead of the camera number if the camera’s operation has been
turned off in the Define Group setting in the Normal Rec Setting menu.
If camera numbers are part of the time and date display, the display is shown only in Mode 1
when more than one camera appears on the screen.
If a camera is not programmed for recording, the screen for that camera is black. If there is
no video (camera is not turned on or is not connected), the screen for that camera is blue.
