Event Monitoring
When an event occurs, the DVR will display the camera associated with the event if Event Monitoring On is selected

Event monitoring lasts for the dwell time set for event recording. After the dwell time has elapsed, the monitor returns
to the previous screen unless another event has occurred. If you want to return to the live monitoring mode before the
dwell time has elapsed, press one of the camera buttons.
Covert Camera
If a camera is set up as Covert 1 in the Camera setup screen (Settings tab), that camera will not be displayed unless a
user with Covert Camera View authority logs into the system. However the camera title and status icons will be
displayed on the monitor.
If a camera is set up as Covert 2 in the Camera setup screen (Settings tab), that camera appears to be Off unless a user
with Covert Camera View authority logs into the system. The camera title will be grayed out and status icons will
not be displayed on the monitor.
NOTE: When a camera is set up as Covert 1, the DVR displays the camera title and status icons on the covert
video. When set up as Covert 2, the DVR displays only the camera title on the covert video.
If a user who has Covert Camera View authority logs into the system, the user can view video from cameras set to
Covert 1 or Covert 2 including the camera titles and status icons.
PTZ Mode
If a user who has PTZ Control authority logs into the system, the user can control PTZ cameras. The DVR will control
cameras with Pan, Tilt and Zoom capabilities. Select PTZ from the Camera Menu in the Live Monitoring menu or
press and hold the
PTZ button on the front panel for three seconds or longer to display the PTZ camera menu and enter
