Introduction of Live View
Live view shows the video image from each camera in real time. The NVR automatically enters Live View mode
when powered on. It is also at the very top of the menu hierarchy, thus pressing the ESC many times (depending
on which menu you’re on) brings you to the Live View mode.
NOTE:
“Unsupported Stream Type” will appear if the stream doesn’t match the NVR’s decoding standard
(compression or resolution).

Live View Icons
In live view mode, there are icons at the upper-right of the screen for each channel, showing the status of the record
and alarm in the channel, so that you can know whether the channel is recorded, or whether there are alarms
occurring as soon as possible.
