will not operate.
Recording Audio
If the DVR was set up to record audio, it will record audio from up to four inputs when video is recording.
NOTE: Make certain you comply with all local and federal laws and regulations when recording audio.
Playing Recorded Video
If a user who has Search authority logs into the system, the user can view recorded image. Once video has been recorded,
you can view it by pressing the (Play/Pause) button.
The DVR supports the Triplex function: monitoring, recording and playing back at the same time. Pressing the (Play/
Pause) button when in one of the multi-view formats enters the Triplex mode and displays the Select Playback Camera
menu.
Selecting All Channels plays back video of all cameras. The DVR maintains the same display format
as it does in the live mode except for the PIP format. You can also change the screen layout in the
same way as you do in the live mode.
Selecting the camera number under Triplex enters the Triplex mode and plays back video of the selected
camera. When in the single-screen display format, the camera currently displayed on the screen will
be selected and when in the PIP display format, the camera displayed on the PIP screen will be selected
for the search channel. During the Triplex mode, the DVR maintains the same display format as it
does in the live mode. A red outline surrounding the video and the camera title indicates the search
channel. While in the Triplex Mode, the DVR continues recording cameras as they were set up in the
recording schedule. Also, live monitoring will continue except for the camera that has been selected
for playback.
