• After the launch screen, the Camera Monitoring Screen will appear.
• At a fixed interval, the display will run through each of the registered 
camera screens.
Note
• Use of the remote control during Automatic Display mode will display the 
following and fail to work.
m
• Automatic Display mode is for display only; you will be unable to record.
• All registered cameras, local and remote, will be displayed sequentially. If, 
however, a remote camera has been set to not save its password, its 
screen will be skipped and the next screen displayed.
• If there is no connection with a camera, because it is turned off, etc., a 
message indicating that the camera could not be accessed with appear for 
between 5 and 10 seconds, after which the next camera's image will

Error MessageCauses and Solutions
Camera setup error
Confirm connections and 
try againThis error appears if at some point during Quick 
Setup, connection with the camera was lost, 
which prevents Quick Setup from completion.
• Check all cables, press the FACTORY 
DEFAULT RESET button on the camera, and 
re-perform Quick Setup.
This camera's firmware is 
out of date
Update camera firmwareThis error appears when the firmware for a 
camera connected using Quick Setup is out of 
date. The camera will be registered as a remote 
camera, but that severely limits its functionality.
• After upgrading the firmware, erase the 
camera from the Camera List and re-register 
it.

Network setup error
Check default settings 
and router settingsQuick Setup cannot be performed if the subnet 
mask for the router is set to either 
255.255.255.248 or 255.255.255.252.
• Use a subnet mask setting of 255.255.255.0.
If the router's subnet mask has any value other 
than 255.255.255.0, you will need to set each 
camera's starting address manually.
• For the camera IP address in the Advanced 
Settings Screen, enter a network segment 
address identical to that of the router.
