Clicking   on the left side exits the toolbar.  If you want to display the toolbar again, 
position the mouse pointer at the bottom of the screen.  Change the toolbar location 
by clicking the empty space on the left side of the toolbar and drag it to where you 
want it located on the screen.  Use the arrow buttons on the toolbar to pan or tilt 
the camera in the direction you want.  The other controls on the toolbar perform as 
described below: 

 

 

 

Zoom In / Out 

 

 

Focus Near / Far 

 

  Iris Open / Close 

 

  Set / Load Preset 

 

Advanced PTZ 

 

 

 

 

Event Monitoring 

 
When an event occurs, the DVR will display the camera associated with the event and the icon   displays on screen 
if 

Event Monitoring On

 is selected in the Display setup screen (Main Monitor tab). 

 

How the cameras are displayed depends on the number of cameras associated with the event.  If one camera is associated 
with the event, the DVR will display the camera full screen.  If two to four cameras are associated with the event, the 
DVR will display the cameras on a 2x2 screen.  If five to nine cameras are associated with the event, the DVR will display 
the cameras on a 1+5, 1+7 or 3x3 screen.  If 10 or more cameras are associated with the event, the DVR will display 
the cameras on a 4x4 screen. 

 

Event monitoring lasts for the dwell time set for event recording.  After the dwell time has elapsed, the monitor returns 
to the previous screen unless another event has occurred.  If you want to return to the live monitoring mode before the 
dwell time has elapsed, press the 

DISPLAY

 button or one of the camera buttons. 

 

Covert Camera 

 

If a camera is set up as 

Covert 1

 in the Camera setup screen (General tab), that camera will not be displayed unless a 

user with 

Covert Camera View

 authority logs into the system.  However the camera title and status icons will be 

displayed on the monitor. 

 

If a camera is set up as 

Covert 2

 in the Camera setup screen (General tab), that camera appears to be Off unless a user 

with 

Covert Camera View

 authority logs into the system.  The camera title will be grayed out and status icons will 

not be displayed on the monitor. 

 

NOTE:  When a camera is set up as Covert 1, the DVR displays the camera title and status icons on the covert 

video.  When set up as Covert 2, the DVR displays only the camera title on the covert video. 

 

If a user who has 

Covert Camera View

 authority logs into the system, the user can view video from cameras set to 

Covert 1

 or 

Covert 2

 including the camera titles and status icons. 

 

Spot Monitoring 

 

NOTE:  Spot monitoring video from network devices will not be supported. 

 

The multiview screen display (2x2, 1+5, 1+7, 3x3, or 4x4) and sequence monitoring is supported on a Spot Monitor.  
Selecting 

Spot

 after pressing the 

MONITOR

 button or selecting 

 (Monitor) in the Live Monitoring menu allows you 

to control a Spot Monitor. 

 

Select 

 

(Display) 

 Screen Format

 in the Live Monitoring menu and then select the screen mode between 2x2 

and 4x4 you want to display on a Spot Monitor. 

 

Selecting 

 (Sequence) in the Live Monitoring menu causes the cameras to display sequentially, and selecting 

 again 

stops sequencing on a Spot Monitor.  Any cameras that are Off, have lost video or are set to 

Covert

 (unless the user 

has authority to view covert cameras) will be excluded from the sequence.  When the Spot Monitor is in the sequence 
mode, you can set the camera’s display dwell time.  Refer to 

Chapter 3 – Configuration – Display Setup

 section for details. 

 

NOTE:  Sequence cannot be used in the 4x4 display mode of the 16-channel.
