Recording Audio
If the recorder was set up to record audio, it will record audio from up to four inputs when video is recording.
Note: Make certain you comply with all local and federal laws and regulations when recording audio.
Playing Recorded Video
If a user who has “Search” authority logs into the system, the user can view recorded image. Once video has

The recorder supports the Triplex function: monitoring, recording and playing back at the same time. Pressing
the [PLAYBACK] button when in one of the multi-view formats enters the Triplex mode and displays the
Select Playback Camera menu.
Selecting “All Channels” plays back video of all cameras. The recorder maintains the same
display format as it does in the live mode except for the PIP format. You can also change the
screen layout in the same way as you do in the live mode.
Selecting the camera number under “Triplex” enters the Triplex mode and plays back video of
the selected camera. When in the single-screen display format, the camera currently displayed
on the screen will be selected and when in the PIP display format, the camera displayed on
the PIP screen will be selected for the search channel. During the Triplex mode, the recorder
maintains the same display format as it does in the live mode. A red outline surrounding
the video and the camera title indicates the search channel. While in the Triplex Mode, the
recorder continues recording cameras as they were set up in the recording schedule. Also, live
monitoring will continue except for the camera that has been selected for playback.
