CHAPTER 4 MAIN MENU SETUP
4.2 LIVE CONFIGURATION
Live configuration includes four submenus: Live, Main Monitor, Spot and Mask.
Live Tab
Use this menu to set camera names and adjust picture colors, brightness, hue saturation and
contrast for optimal picture results.
PICTURE 4-9
PICTURE 4-10
You can individually name cameras by
highlighting the field for each camera. A
virtual keyboard will appear allowing you to
enter characters, numbers and symbols with
case sensitivity. ENTER will save the name
and return to the LIVE menu. ESCAPE will
exit the keyboard without saving.
Main Monitor Tab
Select the configuration of your display.
Split Mode allows you to choose from single
view, 2x2, 2x3, and 3x3 views on a screen at
one time. You can also select which channels
will be displayed.
Channels can be grouped and the display will
cycle between groups. Any individual channel
can be shown in more than one group.
Dwell Time: This is the time interval the
display will spend showing a group
before moving on to the next group.
NOTE! If viewing remotely on a computer with dual monitors, the display must
be on the main monitor.
PICTURE 4-11
You can configure the settings for image
saturation, hue, brightness, contrast and
colors individually by clicking on the Setting
button for each individual camera or for all
of them simultaneously by selecting the All
button before making the settings.
Spot Tab
This allows select feeds to be viewed on a separate monitor that is connected to the DVR but
may be in another room, for example. There will be no menu access on this auxiliary display.
PICTURE 4-12
PICTURE 4-13
PICTURE 4-14
Only one channel can be displayed at a
time on this monitor. You can choose which
channels (each channel is a “group”), the
order and their dwell time. The left and right
arrows allow you to move to the next group. A
channel can appear in more than one group.
Mask Tab
Set up masks on individual cameras to block out select areas on each screen. This is to grant
privacy in situations when other users may be able to view the camera feeds and you wish to
restrict viewing of certain areas or activities.
Click on the Setting button next to a given
camera to apply a mask to its view.
Up to three areas may be masked in an
image. Simply click and drag to cover the
area. To delete, double-click on a mask.
Right-click to exit the screen, your masks will
be saved.
The masks will appear on that channel’s
image in the live area as well as on
recordings.
