Main View
On the Main View screen, you can view the live feed from your cameras. From here you can adjust the layout of your channels, switch pages, digitally zoom in on your footage, take a manual snapshot or recording, switch between your mainstream and substream, and more.
Remote Setting
All of your recorder's system menus and preferences are located within the Remote Setting tab. This screen is split into six tabs: Channel, Record, Alarm, Network, Device, and System. To get an idea of what functions you can perform within each of the six tabs, reference the image below.
