Operating Your System

Live View and Recording

Once configured, the NVR will display live feeds from all connected cameras. The system is set to record continuously by default, utilizing the pre-installed 2TB hard drive.

• 4K Resolution: The cameras capture video in 4K (8-megapixel) resolution, providing sharp images and enhanced detail.
• Color Night Vision (CNV): In low-light conditions, the cameras can display full-color images, offering more detailed and realistic footage than traditional black and white night vision.
• Motion Detection: Configure motion detection zones and sensitivity settings via the NVR interface to trigger recordings or alerts when movement is detected.
