Live view shows you the video image getting from each camera in real time. The DVR will automatically enter Live View
mode when powered on. It is also at the very top of the menu hierarchy, thus hitting the ESC many times (depending on
which menu you're on) will bring you to the Live View mode.
Live View Icons

possible.

the screen.
