EDIT LIVE VIEW CHANNELS
By default, the recorder only allows live video from four network channels at one time on the local server. This protects the processor
resources for recording data. The SCS software allows you to view live video from multiple recorders at once and with the same
limitations that the recorder has on the number of live IP based video channels. If more than four channels of live video are required on
the local server, you can enable the recorder to show up to 16 channels. Be aware that displaying 16 channels of live IP based video is
resource intensive and may dramatically impact system performance.
To enable the recorder to view 16 channels of live video:
1.
Click
Exit
on the Display screen, and then select
Restart in Windows Mode.
2.
Double-click the
Edit
Live View Channels
icon on the desktop.
3.
Click
Yes
, and then click
OK
.
4.
The live view display will switch to 16 channel mode. To return the recorder to 4 channel mode, repeat steps 2 and 3.
5.
Double-click
Surveillix Server
to restart the recorder software.
The live view display will switch to 16 channel mode. To return the recorder to 4 channel mode, run the utility again using the same
instructions.
