If you have multiple groups and you want
CMS to automatically switch between
them, then you will need to set up the time
delay between groups using Dwell Setup.
Otherwise, you can manually switch using
the Previous Group and Next Group
buttons (items 16 in Section 2.3).
You will need to place a check mark before
each group you want to cycle through. And,
you are able to individually set the dwell
time of each group from five seconds to two
minutes.

CHAPTER 3
LIVE VIEWING
Once you have added your DVR(s) to the
Device Manager, you can view the cameras
attached to those systems in the
Control Center Operation Interface.
There are six pre-configured modes ranging
from a single camera to 32 channels on
display at the same time. The last mode is a
drop-down which allows you to chose a 6-,
8-, 13-, 49-, or 64-channel display. You can
drag and drop the channels into any of the
other positions on the screen. You can also
drag a camera name from the
Device List
on the left onto an on-screen position.
In the 6-, 8- and 13-channel displays, you
will get one large display surrounded by the
remaining channels in smaller displays.
To begin viewing you will need to be in Live
Viewing mode which can be entered by
clicking on the Live button at the lower right
of your screen.
Next, drag and drop a system’s icon from the
Device Manager onto the blank Preview
Window and CMS will populate the screen with the cameras’ video feeds. Alternately, you
can drag and drop individual cameras (from the same DVR or multiple DVRs) onto individual
segments of the multi-channel display.
You can also use this same method to view
cameras in a channel group. You must first
close out the current video feeds by pressing
the Close Preview button. Afterwards, you
can select the Channel Group tab at the
bottom left of the Control Center Interface
and select a group.
DISPLAY MODE
You can choose how many camera streams you wish to view at once by selecting the desired
multi-screen configuration from the row below the
Preview Window.
