Event monitoring lasts for the dwell time set for event recording. After the dwell time has elapsed, the
monitor returns to the previous screen unless another event has occurred. If you want to return to the live
monitoring mode before the dwell time has elapsed, press the
DISPLAY
button or one of the camera buttons.
Covert Camera
If a camera is set up as
Covert 1
in the Camera setup screen (Settings tab), that camera will not be displayed
unless a user with
Covert Camera View
authority logs into the system. However the camera title and
status icons will be displayed on the monitor.
If a camera is set up as
Covert 2
in the Camera setup screen (Settings tab), that camera appears to be Off
unless a user with
Covert Camera View
authority logs into the system. The camera title will be grayed
out and status icons will not be displayed on the monitor.
NOTE: When a camera is set up as
Covert 1
, the DVR displays the camera title and status icons on
the covert video. When set up as
Covert 2
, the DVR displays only camera title on the covert video.
If a user who has
Covert Camera View
authority logs into the system, the user can view video from
cameras set to
Covert 1
or
Covert 2
including the camera titles and status icons.
Spot Monitoring
You can select the camera you want to display on a Spot Monitor. Press the
SPOT
button on the front panel or remote control, and select one of four Spot Monitors.
Then, select the camera to be displayed on the Spot Monitor.
Figure 105 — Spot Monitor menu.
If you want to display more than one camera on a Spot Monitor, you can display them
sequentially. In the Spot Monitor selection mode, press the
SEQUENCE
button on the
front panel or remote control, or select
Sequence On
from the menu to start displaying
cameras sequentially. Press the
SEQUENCE
button or select
Sequence On
again to
stop sequencing on the Spot Monitor. Any cameras that are Off, have lost video or are
set to
Covert
(unless the user has authority to view covert cameras) will be excluded
from the sequence.

When the Spot Monitor is in the sequence mode, you can set the camera’s display dwell time. Refer to
Chapter 3 – Configuration – Display Screen
section for details.
