Chapter 3 Live View
3.1 Introduction of Live View
Live view shows the video image from each camera in real time. The DVR will automatically enter Live View
mode when powered on. It is also at the very top of the menu hierarchy, thus hitting ESC many times
(depending on which menu you’re on) will bring you to the Live View mode.
Live View Icons
In the live view mode, there are icons at the right top of the screen for each channel, showing the status
of the record and alarm in the channel, so that you can know whether the channel is recorded, or whether
there are alarms occur as soon as possible.

Aux/Main Monitor:
the DVR checks the connection of the output interfaces to define the main and
auxiliary output interfaces. When the aux output is enabled, the main output cannot do any operation,
and you can do some basic operation on the live view mode for the Aux output.
The DVR supports independent VGA and HDMI output, and simultaneous VGA/HDMI output. In the
independent output mode, the priority level for the main and aux output is HDMI > VGA. The CVBS output
serves only as the aux output or live view output. The priority relationship is shown in Table 3-3. In the
simultaneous output mode, VGA/HDMI output is the main output, and CVBS output is the aux output.
