Live mode

The live mode is the normal operating mode of the unit
where you watch live pictures from the cameras. From
the live mode you can switch to the search mode, the
playback mode or to the system menu. Access to system
menu, search and playback functions may require a
password. Discuss this with your administrator. To
switch back to live viewing from another mode, close
the activated mode by pressing the ESC key.

> The dv4 format is the proprietary file format of BOSCH
and can only be played back with the supplied viewer
software (Archive Player). The Archive Player is copied
automatically when the recorded images are copied to the
USB stick.
> To play the Bosch AVI format you can use a normal
Windows compatible MPEG-4 player such as Media
Player but you must ensure that an XVID codec is
installed. (Check the internet for this codec.)
> Still images are copied in JPEG format. Only the single
image displayed on the monitor is copied to the USB stick.
The copied image does not contain time/date or channel
number information.

approximate space required are shown.
