The Layout
There are six different layouts available, as shown below, for the display windows in the monitor program. You can
select between 1 camera, 4 camera, 6, camera, 9 camera, 13 camera, and 16 camera layout. You can select one of
them by clicking on a layout icon. In each layout, you can drag and drop the “channel number” to any display window
in the video area. Following the procedures described in the section titled “Show the video of a specified channel”, you
can add the video channels to display windows within the selected layout in the video area one by one. You can also
exchange the video between different display windows by dragging and dropping. Double clicking on a display window
will switch to single channel layout.
When you choose the one-channel layout or four-channel layout, the “Page up” and “Page down” buttons will be shown
in the left-bottom corner of the video area. You can use these two buttons to switch the pages, as shown in the figure
below.

To view an individual camera from the multi-camera layout, double-click on the desired display window. You will see
that the size of the display window is the same as the one-channel layout. Clicking the Back button in the upper-left
corner of the video area will switch to the previous selected multi-camera layout.
The position that each video channel is in for every layout will be saved for the next time the layout is selected.

Section 3 - Configuration
If you have checked the box “Enable Motion Detect” or “Enable Digital Input” on the Camera
Configurations > Alert Settings screen, the alert message will show in the window shown
above. Once the alert, caused by motion detection or a digital input level change is triggered,
the alert message will be shown in this window. If there are more events than this window
can display, a scroll bar will appear.
The message format is described as follows:
“time”=>”alert type” #”channel number”(“win1”,”win2”,”win3”)
For example, the message “PM 02:41:00=>MO #1(0,1,1)” means that this is a motion
detection alert occurring at 02:41:00 PM in Motion Window 2 and Motion Window 3, for camera #1. If the message
“PM 02:41:56=>DI #1” is listed, that means there is an alert triggered by the DI, for camera #1, at 02:41:56 PM .
Clicking on the “DI/DO” button shown below, you can switch to the DI/DO controls. The color of the channel number
indicates the status of the camera’s DI (Digital Input). You can click the “Switch button” to change the HI/LOW state
of the DO (Digital Output). With these features, you can monitor the remote sensor input from DI and also trigger the
camera by DO switch.
When the color of a DI/DO channel number is gray, that means the video channel has not yet
been connected to a camera.
