Operation
NoteThis chapter assumes your DVR has been installed and 
configured. If it has not, please refer to Chapter 2 and Chapter 3.
The DVR’s controls are similar to a VCR. As with a VCR, the main functions are 
recording and playing back video. However, you have much greater control over 
recording and playing back video. You can establish recording schedules based on 
time of day and day of the week. The DVR allows you to search through the recorded 
video using much more sophisticated tools than those available with VCRs. Additional 
DVR features that are not available with VCRs are remote control and viewing, and 
recording video at the same time you are watching previously recorded video.
The front panel controls are described in Chapter 3, Configuration.
Turning on the Power
Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in Chapter 2, Installation, it 
is ready to record.

Live Monitoring
As soon as the DVR completes its initialization process, it will begin showing live video 
on the attached monitor and playing live audio through the attached speaker. The 
default mode is to display all cameras at once. Pressing any camera button will cause 
that camera to display full screen. It displays live video and plays live audio until the user 
enters another mode.
Pressing DISPLAY cycles the DVR through the different display formats.
The DVR can be set to display full-screen video for a preset dwell time when an Event 
occurs. Video from the lowest camera number associated with the event sensor will be 
displayed, the DVR will return to the previous screen format after the event monitoring 
dwell time expires. While the event monitoring is activated, the monitoring for all other 
subsequent events will be ignored. Pressing individual camera buttons or the DISPLAY 
button during event monitoring releases the current event monitoring and displays the 
selected camera or returns to the previous screen format.
Pressing SEQUENCE causes the cameras to display sequentially. When in one of the 
multi-view formats, pressing this button will cause the DVR to go through predefined 
screen layouts (Full Sequence). Or, the bottom-right screen will display live cameras 
sequentially (Cameo Sequence). Selecting another display mode, or pressing 
SEQUENCE again exits the Sequence mode. When in one of the multi-view formats, 
pressing the Left or Right arrow buttons will cause the DVR to go to the previous or the 
next page. For example, if you press the Right arrow button in the 2x2 format, the DVR 
changes pages as follows:
If all the cameras in a page are Off, have lost video or are set to Covert (unless the user 
has authority to view covert cameras), that page will be excluded from the sequence.
NoteThe Full Sequence for the full sequence monitoring and the 
Cameo Sequence for the cameo sequence monitoring should 
be selected in the Display setup screen, Sequence tab (see 
Display Screen, page 66).
Pressing FREEZE will freeze the current image on the screen until you press the button 
again. While in the Freeze mode, the icon   displays in bottom-left corner if Freeze is 
selected in the Display setup screen (OSD tab).
To display cameras sequentially on a spot monitor, press SPOT and select the Spot 
Monitor and Sequence from the menu.
