Channel grid

The center of this page displays the feeds of the cameras that have been activated (in the list to the left).

Click on a channel to select it. A blue outline appears, and the active camera is highlighted in the camera list.

Camera list

To the left of the grid, the system lists all cameras connected to the NVR.

Cameras attached directly to the NVR are named with the NVR port number and camera name as customized under Configuration > Camera > OSD Settings.
Cameras attached via the network use the camera name as customized under Configuration > Camera > OSD Settings.

Click the Play/Pause icon to start/stop streaming the live view of the camera into the selected channel in the grid view.

Click Start Record / Stop Record icon to toggle recording the surveillance feed. This only works if the camera is assigned to a channel.

Click the feed icon to select whether the camera sends its main stream or sub-stream to the channel.

At the bottom left, click to select the channel layout. If the channel layout is 8 screens or fewer, the feed icon activates; click it to toggle all fields between main and sub streams. If the grid has 9 channels or more, all cameras send their substream.

At the right end of the bottom bar, several icons allow for:

Start All Live View: This loads each connected camera (one by one) into a channel until all channels fill or all cameras are transmitting. Click this again to hide all channels; click once more to return to streaming all video feeds.
Take picture: This saves a photo of the selected channel.
Take video: This starts recording all channels in the grid.
Digital Zoom: Click this, and click and drag in the active channel to zoom the feed to the selection. This icon remains blue as long as any channel has digital zoom active. Click it again to cancel the zoom (if any) for the selected channel.
