Hey guys, Mike from CCTV Camera Pros here. In this video, I want to show you the spot
monitor function of our 32 channel NVR. This is our Viewtron 32 channel NVR,
and it has two HDMI outputs. And what I have done is, I've connected the primary HDMI output
to this monitor that you see here, and HDMI output two to this bigger monitor over here
that's going to be my spot monitor. So what is a spot monitor? Let's cover that first.
Basically, a spot monitor always displays a live view of your security cameras. And with
the Viewtron NVR, you can configure that live view, how you want it to be laid out,
independent of the main monitor with the menu system. There's no menu system on the spot
monitor. It's a live display, regardless of what's going on over here on the main monitor. Let's
configure the spot monitor over here. I'm going to go into settings,
and then select system. And then I'm going to select Output Settings. Okay. Secondary output,
that's our spot monitor function. And this a 32 channel NVR, but I only have
six Viewtron IP cameras connected right now. I'm going to select this six camera view here.
I'm going to uncheck this dwell time and select the six camera view. We'll do dwell
time next. And then I can drag the cameras over into the grid where I want them to appear.
I'm just dragging and dropping my IP cameras into this six channel grid view. And then when I hit
apply, you'll see the spot monitor activates and displays a live view of those six cameras.
And you see over here the main monitor, obviously still in the menu system. And I can go back to the
live display over here. I can switch to a single camera view, and it does not impact the layout of
the spot monitor. That spot monitor view is fixed. The other thing you could do is you could create
a dwell time program where it switches views from camera to camera. So instead of being stationary,
let's do dwell time. I'm going to go back into Settings and again, back into system and then
output settings. And then I'm going to check this dwell time box over here. And then I'm going to
add a view. And here's a four camera view, so we can start with that. That's fine. We'll add four
cameras into this dwell time view. We'll add these four, and then I'll add another view. But I want
that one to be a single camera view. We'll do a single camera view of this camera, and we'll do
a third camera. That's a single camera view of our front door camera. We have three views here.
One is a four camera grid and then two single camera views. And we'll have the dwell time
set to five seconds. It'll scroll between those views every five seconds. I'm going to hit apply.
And then over here on the spot monitor, you see it switched to the four cameras, and now it's
scrolling. That's dwell time. Every five seconds, it'll switch to the next view that I configured.
And now it'll go back to the four camera view and it'll just keep doing that over and over again.
And obviously, you can very easily add additional views by going into the menu system
and back into system, back into output settings. And if I want to add another view, and I'll make
this one another single camera view of the PTZ out front, and we'll do one more of one of the
cameras out back. And you know what? We'll get rid of the four camera view. We'll switch it to all
single camera views. So hit update. And now it's
going to just scroll between all those single camera views.
And then I'll switch back over here to the main screen and go back to the multi-camera view.
Guys, I hope this video has been helpful. As you can see, these Viewtron NVRs are extremely easy
to navigate with that user interface and the point and click with the mouse, and it's the
same user interface for our BNC DVRs. We supply this equipment to DIY homeowners, small, medium,
and large business, and we do a lot of business with the government because this equipment is
NDAA compliant for government use. The apps are excellent. It comes with mobile apps for iPhone,
mobile apps for Android, desktop software for Windows and Macintosh. You can connect
to multiple units, multiple sites. It's extremely flexible for small business all
the way up to large enterprises. These work with our Viewtron IP cameras, obviously our traditional
IP cameras. We also have AI cameras. If you're not familiar with AI cameras, I
highly encourage you to look at our video demos of our AI security camera and our license plate
recognition cameras. It has the built-in AI software and LPR software for all of that.
