for the search channel. During the Triplex mode, the DVR maintains the same display format as it does
in the live mode. A red outline surrounding the video and the camera title indicates the search channel.
While in the Triplex Mode, the DVR continues recording cameras as they were set up in the recording
schedule. Also, live monitoring will continue except for the camera that has been selected for playback.
