Covert Camera
If a camera is set up as Covert 1 in the Camera setup screen (General 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 (General 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.
NOTE: The covert camera function of network devices follows the settings you set in the network device not
in the DVR.
Spot Monitoring
NOTE: Spot monitoring video from network devices will not be supported.
The multiview screen display (2x2, 3x3 or 4x4) and sequence monitoring is supported on a Spot Monitor. Selecting
Spot after selecting
(Monitor) in the Live Monitoring menu allows you to control a Spot Monitor.
Select
(Display) → Screen Format in the Live Monitoring menu and then select the screen mode between 2x2,
3x3 and 4x4 you want to display on a Spot Monitor.
Selecting (Sequence) in the Live Monitoring menu causes the cameras to display sequentially, and selecting again
stops sequencing on a Spot Monitor. Any cameras that are Off, have lost video or are set to Covert (unless the user
has authority to view covert cameras) will be excluded from the sequence. When the Spot Monitor is in the sequence
mode, you can set the camera’s display dwell time. Refer to Chapter 3 – Configuration – Display Setup section for details.
NOTE: Sequence cannot be used in the 4x4 display mode of the 16-channel.
Recording Video
Once you have installed the DVR following the instructions in Chapter 2 — Installation, it is ready to record. The DVR
will start recording based on the settings you made in the Record setup screen. See Chapter3 — Configuration.
Recycle On or Recycle Off. The factory default is Recycle On. It does this by recording over the oldest video once
the hard disk is full. Setting the DVR to Recycle Off causes it to stop recording once the hard disk is full.
NOTE: When recording video from network devices, the DVR has a recording speed of 120 ips with Standard
image quality and a resolution setting of1920x1080 for each channel. Depending on the DVR’s operating
situation and network environment, the recording speed of network devices might increase or decrease.
This recoding speed standard is based on 1-Gbps Ethernet when the DVR is only recording video from
network devices, and the monitoring feature is not being used.
The recording speed (ips) and resolution for the network camera will follow the settings you set in the
camera and not the settings in the DVR.
When the recording speed and resolution for the network video transmitter you set in the DVR are higher
than the ones you set in the network video transmitter, the DVR will record video at the recording speed
and resolution you set in the network video transmitter.
Although you will be able to record without changing the unit from its original factory settings, you will want to take
advantages of the DVR’s many tools. See Chapter 3 — Configuration for detailed descriptions of the recording mode
options.
