Pop-up Event Playback   

Sometimes  the  instant  event  playback  window  would  automatically  pop-up  to  notify  you  of 

events  detected  on  certain  camera  sites.  As  the  events  in  certain  sensitive  spots  will  have 

higher priority than other channels, your System Administrator would apply t

his “

Pop-up Event 

Window

” function to these cameras. In this way, these critical events will be pushed into your 

sight actively. 

 

On  the  left  of  the  window  may  list  a  series  of motions  detected  within  the  same  period.  You 

may double-click on any entry to see its live view or playback the event. This window would 

automatically  disappear  after  a  while,  and  you  may  still  look  these  events  up  in  the 

Event

 

panel. 

 

Hot-Spot Window 

In your Live View screen, the upper left window may sometimes display a device video instead 

of the original channel. This is because the events detected in certain sensitive spots will have 

higher priority than other channels. Whichever View you are watching, the events detected by 

those cameras will be temporarily displayed in this window to catch your attention.   

 

You can set any other channel on your live view screen to be the default hotspot channel. 

Right-click on the desired channel and select 

“Default Hotspot

”
