DISPLAY MODES
Choose the number of channels you wish to view simultaneously. If you have fewer cameras
than portions of the screen, those channels without cameras will remain black.
Available modes are single-, four-, nine-. 16-
and 36-screen displays. The software will only
display the modes appropriate to the number
of cameras you have connected.
AUTO DWELL DISPLAY
If the
Main Display
is currently showing fewer channels than are available, you can have the
DVR automatically cycle through and show the feed from each camera or group of cameras
by selecting the button.
PAGE FLIP
This button allows you to manually cycle through the channels. Like the Auto Dwell feature, if
there are more channels available than are currently being displayed in a multi-screen display
mode, this button will take you to the next group of video feeds.
