CHAPTER 3
LIVE VIEWING
Once you have added your DVR(s) to the Device Manager, you can view the cameras
attached to those systems in the Control Center Operation Interface.
There are six pre-configured modes ranging
from a single camera to 32 channels on
display at the same time. The last mode is a
drop-down which allows you to chose a 6-,
8-, 13-, 49-, or 64-channel display. You can
drag and drop the channels into any of the
other positions on the screen. You can also
drag a camera name from the Device List
on the left onto an on-screen position.
In the 6-, 8- and 13-channel displays, you
will get one large display surrounded by the
remaining channels in smaller displays.
To begin viewing you will need to be in Live
Viewing mode which can be entered by
clicking on the Live button at the lower right
of your screen.
Next, drag and drop a system’s icon from the Device Manager onto the blank Preview
Window and CMS will populate the screen with the cameras’ video feeds. Alternately, you
can drag and drop individual cameras (from the same DVR or multiple DVRs) onto individual
segments of the multi-channel display.
You can also use this same method to view
cameras in a channel group. You must first
close out the current video feeds by pressing
the Close Preview button. Afterwards, you
can select the Channel Group tab at the
bottom left of the Control Center Interface
and select a group.
DISPLAY MODE
You can choose how many camera streams you wish to view at once by selecting the desired
multi-screen configuration from the row below the Preview Window.
Clicking on a camera in the multi-channel view so that it has a red outline and then clicking
on the 1-channel display mode button will cause the Preview Window to only display that
channel. You can also double click on a screen to bring it to single camera view.
Right-clicking on a channel will bring up a dialog box allowing you to take several actions:
Turn off live view - This allows you to turn off viewing of this channel alone.
Start Manual Record - This records the video of the selected channel to your computer’s
hard drive.
Stop Manual Record - Ends manual recording.
Enable Audio - If you have a microphone or audio-capable camera connected to this
channel, you can turn the audio on. You can also do this in single-camera display
mode by pressing the Enable Audio button below the Preview Window.
Full Screen - This will bring the Preview Window to full screen mode for easier viewing.
The rest of the Control Center Operation Interface will be hidden. Right-clicking
this screen will return it to normal viewing. If you have more than one display, you will
be given the choice of which monitor on which to display the video.
