If the DVR’s time and date have been reset to a time that is

have more than one video stream in the same time range. In
this case, the overlapping time range in the record table will
be separated by a yellow vertical line.
NOTE: The recorded data in the time range located after
the yellow vertical line is the latest.

recording information of each camera channel currently displayed on the screen. Selecting the icon in the Standard
view mode switches to the Compact view mode which displays only the toolbar. Selecting the icon in the Compact
view mode switches to the Standard view mode, and selecting the icon in the Expanded view mode switches to the
Standard view mode.
Selecting or located at the bottom zooms the record table. Selecting displays eight hours (1-minute based),

NOTE: If the DVR has images recorded in more than one recording mode in the same time range, the recording
status bar displays recording information in the following priority order: Panic
