Once powered on, the 15.6-inch monitor will display live feeds from all connected cameras. You can switch between single-camera view and multi-camera grid view using the NVR controls.

4.2 Two-Way Audio

4.3 Recording Modes

The NVR supports various recording modes:

  • Continuous Recording: Records 24/7, overwriting the oldest footage when the 2TB HDD is full.
  • Scheduled Recording: Set specific times for recording.
  • Motion Detection Recording: Records only when motion is detected, saving storage space.

4.4 Night Vision

The cameras feature advanced night vision with infrared and LED lamps. In low-light conditions, the system typically records in black and white. However, upon detecting a person or moving object, it can switch to color night vision to capture clearer details of potential intruders.
