Watching Live Video

This section guides you through the basic steps for watching the live video stream from a monitored camera, and gives description on useful display features.

bBasic Procedures

When you begin routine monitoring work, you should follow these basic steps:

●Log into the system, and switch to live mode

On the tree list, double-click the camera title of the camera you want to monitor.

The video stream from your specified camera is displayed in the single-view layout, and the title bar indicates the camera title and video mode (LIVE) as well as the current date and time.

Double-click

In this example, live video is displayed in the single-view layout.

●Switch the viewing pane layouts as needed

Click one of the layout selector buttons on the control panel.

The single-view layout is initially displayed when you turn on live mode, but you can switch to the four-view or multi-view layout as you like.

●Switching the Video Channels

Click one of the channel selector buttons on the control panel.

When you are connected to a 4-channel DVR, the video stream from the camera that corresponds to your specified channel is displayed in the single-view layout irrespective of the layout you have so far been in.

Channel selector buttons

You can switch the channels only when the camera is connected to a 4-channel DVR.

●Switch to the Video from Another

DVR
