Display Options
In the video displaying frame of each channel, there are two status bars. The upper bar contains “Location” (channel
number + camera name) and “Remote Time.” The lower bar contains “Connection Time” (Day:Hour:Min) and “Recording
time” (Day: Hour:Min). All of them, shown in the figure below, can be enabled or disabled here individually for the
status indication. Apply to full screen mode can also be turned on here. Once it has been checked, the status bar in
each channel showing date, location, connection, and recording time will be shown in both display frame mode and

Schedule with Time Lines
There are two different time-lines: hour unit time-line and week unit time-line. You can make your own schedule by
plotting markers in all time-lines. These two time lines are associated with each other. That is, if you make changes in
one time-line, the corresponding changes will be applied with scale to the other three time-lines in the same schedule.
Before you begin, make sure that you select “Once” (page 85) if you want to choose the days to record on.
Week Time-Line
In the figure below, Week time-line is displayed. It includes the time-line, schedule information, and the selected day
in the week.
Marking/Unmarking the Recording Time on the Week Time-Line
The corresponding changes for the markers on the week time-line will be automatically added to the hour time-lines,
which is shown above. You can also mark and unmark the plotted bar by clicking and dragging with the left and the
right mouse button.
Hour Time-Line
In the figure below, the Hour time-line is displayed.
