3.1  Introduction of Live View 
Live view shows you the video image getting from each camera in real time. The NVR automatically enters Live 
View mode when powered on. It is also at the very top of the menu hierarchy, thus pressing the ESC many times 
(depending on which menu you’re on) brings you to the Live View mode. 
 
Live View Icons 
In the live view mode, there are icons at the upper-right of the screen for each channel, showing the status of the 
record and alarm in the channel, so that you can know whether the channel is recorded, or whether there are alarms 
occur as soon as possible.
