Watching a Live Preview
The Live Preview mode is automatically started after the DVR boots up. It is also at the very top of the menu hierarchy,
thus hitting the ESC multiple times (depending on which menu you‟re on) will bring you to the Live Preview mode.
Understanding Live Preview Icons
There are multiple icons on each display in Live Preview mode to indicate different camera status. These icons include:
Event Icon: Indicates video loss or tampering, motion detection and/or sensor alarm.
