(For details, see Camera Monitoring later in this chapter).
Schedule Monitor: Allows you to monitor cameras by schedule. Alternatively you may click
Schedule button (No. 15, Figure 1-2) and select Schedule Start. Refer to Recording

the image problem and remain DirectDraw Overlay, change the image quality from High to
Standard. See Image Quality of DirectDraw Overlay in System Tools later in this chapter.
Enable De-interlace Render: Avoids interlace of the odd and even video lines. This feature
affects only single view mode with the resolution of 640 x 480 and 704 x 480. After enabling the
feature, you must restart the GV-System to apply it.
