CCTV Live Viewing Guide

To Live View Cameras, you need to select the Live View Menu from the Selection Across the top

From here you’ll get the Live View Menu, with your Camera Selection down the Left Hand Side. You  can choose a live view split from the left hand side. 

From the bottom right hand side, you can change the live view split of the Live View, as well as setting  the Recorder to Auto Sequence through its selection of cameras, as well as full screening the screen to  remove the menu options from the screen.

If you have any PTZ’s on the Recorder, you will no doubt wish to use PTZ control to move the PTZ  around. 

To get into PTZ control, you need to hover over the camera in question in Live View, and select the  PTZ control option from the task bar across the bottom. 

This will bring up the PTZ control menu on the right-hand side as below

Using the top half of the menu, you can move the PTZ around using the directional buttons. The Centre  button will trigger a Panoramic Scan. 

The buttons on the right will increase or decrease the Zoom & Focus respectively.

Towards the bottom, to the left of the menu, using the Flag Icon, we can access the Preset Menu. This allows us  to set and call Presets, which are points we can get the PTZ to go to.

Under the Patrol Tab, we can set a Patrol using configured Presets to call a PTZ to specific points in an  automated order. 

Using the Pattern tab, we can record Patterns, which are a series of motions manually input by the user, which  the PTZ will then replicate whenever the Pattern is called. 

If you have full screened the Live View Menu, you can right click on the screen to make changes to the layout,  etc. To leave full screen, just select the Menu Option.

If you want to make permanent changes to the Live View, to show in a specific default split, or only  display specific cameras, or in a specific layout, you need to go into the Live View Menu, under the  System Menu from the options across the top 

From here you can choose specific Outputs and the Live View Layouts, this is also how you can edit spot  monitor output configurations. Your Recorder may or may not support independent outputs, this depends  on the model. 

Live View Mode relates to the default live view split the Recorder will utilise. 

Dwell time enables Auto Sequencing in the Live View, by default this isn’t enabled. 

Event Output is the Output the Recorder will use for Full Screen Monitoring Linkage and the Dwell Time is how  long the Full Screen will last for before it reverts to its last option.

To Edit the Live View Layout, you need to go into the View Section, underneath the Live View Menu on  the left 

From here you can choose specific outputs from the Video Output Interface Menu at the top of the Screen,  and then choose what cameras appear in the live view from the list on the left, in the order you want using the  grid box in the middle of the screen
