The following sections (Sections 4-6) relate to the display output from the

 

VGA or BNC connection.  For 

Remote Access operation using Internet Explorer see Section 9

The split-window screen is the main screen displayed after system startup.  There are several types of split-
window screens including 1 or 4 window grids (as described in Section 4.3).  In addition to the split windows, 
System Status Bar is displayed at the bottom of the screen.  Time is displayed in the lower-left corner while 
system status is displayed in the lower-right corner.  Scrolling screen messages are displayed when certain 
events occur.

The System Status Bar offers the following information:

• SEQ display – SEQ icon shown for SEQ display ON
• Backup state – Backup icon shown for backup
• Manual record – REC icon shown for ON,
• Zoom states – X2, or X4
• Mute state – Speaker icon visible when not muted; the icon will not be displayed in mute state
• Hard Drive recording percentage
• Video Loss – a message with the corresponding camera number scrolls from right to left
• Motion Detection – a message with the corresponding camera number scrolls from right to left
• Current date and time

In the top left of each camera the following information is displayed:

• Camera Title – name of the camera
• Recording icon – indicates video is being recorded
• Motion icon – indicates motion detected for this camera

• Alarm icon – indicates an alarm that has been associated with corresponding camera has been triggered

In split screen windows, the “focus” camera is indicated by a green or red box around the cameras title.  

Green indicates live video, and red indicates recorded video that is being played back.
