1.3 Monitor images from multiple cameras
Images from multiple cameras can be displayed on a multi-screen. Images from 4 cameras (up to 16 cameras) can be displayed simultaneously. In order to use multi-screen, IP addresses of network cameras and units used to connect to cameras must be configured to the unit. 4 cameras can be registered as a group and up to 4 groups (16 cameras) can be registered.

When displaying images on a 16-screen, panning, tilting and zooming operations become unavailable for images from cameras with Pan/Tilt/Zoom functions.
When the power is turned off or the LAN cable is disconnected while displaying images, displaying images on a multi-screen from the “Live” page will become unavailable.
