Set up Display Mode
The administrator can select the display mode and assign the channels manually to use the
sequential mode or have the all the channels assigned by the NVRs instead.
When
“
Sequential mode
”
is selected, cameras channels will be assigned sequentially to
each channel window in the display mode. If the number of cameras used in the sequential
mode is greater than the number of channels of the display mode, the extra channels will
be assigned from Channel 1 again. For instance, if 64 channels are assigned to a 6-channel
view, the seventh channel will be displayed on Channel 1 and the eighth channel will be
displayed on Channel 2, and so on and so forth. Please note that since a maximum of 10
channels can be assigned to one channel, please always select a display mode with a
maximum number of channels that is greater than the total number of selected channels
(ex. for 64 channels, please select the 8-channel view.)
When
“
Auto Assign by NVR
”
is selected, camera channels will be assigned based on NVRs.
For example, if 20 channels from NVR 1 and 32 channels from NVR 2 are selected for the
6-channel view, all 20 channels from NVR 1 will be first assigned from Channel 1 to Channel
6 sequentially (and the seventh channel from NVR 1 will be assigned to display on Channel
1 again and eighth on Channel 2.) All 32 channels from NVR 2 will then be assigned from
Channel 1 to Channel 6 after all cameras from NVR 1 are assigned.
Please note that in
“
Sequential mode
”
, channels assigned to a channel window will be
displayed and switched sequentially and automatically, while in
“
Auto Assign by NVR
”
,
channels need to be switched manually.
If both
“
Sequential mode
”
and
“
Auto Assign by NVR
”
are selected, all channels from the
same NVR will be assigned to and displayed on the selected display mode sequentially and
automatically. For instance, if 20 channels from NVR 1 and 32 channels from NVR 2 are
selected for the 6-channel view, all channels from NVR 1 will be assigned to and displayed
sequentially and automatically on the first page, and all 32 channels from NVR 2 will be
assigned to and displayed sequentially and automatically on the second page. To view the
channels from a different NVR, users are required to manually switch to the corresponding
pages.
