DWELL TIME
The time between switching from one camera to another is known as the dwell time. The dwell time can be set differently for
each camera or it can be set the same (global) for all cameras on a monitor.
To check the dwell time:

2. Press the camera button again. A number appears on the monitor indicating the dwell time from 1 to 60 seconds.
To set the dwell time:
1. Press the MON 1 button.

the desired CAMERA button. Proceed to step 3.
3. Press and hold the TIME button. The timer displays a count in the lower left corner of the monitor, beginning at 1. The
timer counts to 60. Each number represents the dwell time from a minimum of 1 second to a maximum of 60 seconds.
4. Release the TIME button at the dwell time you desire. The count does not wrap around, so if you miss your desired count,
just release the TIME button, then press the TIME button again to restart the count.
5. Release the GLOBAL/CAMERA button.
6. Verify the dwell setting by pressing the camera button of whichever camera is currently selected. The dwell time appears
