Hikvision Live View Icons explained

July 19, 2022
in Hikvision

What’s the bell or alarm icon in the Hikvision live view? What does the slate board (recording) icon mean? All these are Live View icons and controls that show on a Hikvision NVR or DVR and in this guide, we will explain what they mean.

Live View is the default display mode for the DVR. Each camera connected will be displayed on-screen. You can check the status or operation of your DVR and cameras by right-clicking the mouse to access the Menu Bar.
