1. Product Introduction
The LOREX MULTIVIEW has the ability to divide and display pictures on
a CCTV monitor. It can be connected to up to 9 security cameras. This
unit is able to provide various types of picture compositions. Through
operation from the remote control, the user is able to select the number of
pictures to appear on the screen. The picture composition can be selected
from one to up to 9 different pictures on the same screen.
Dividing the pictures on the same screen is one of the most basic functions
the MULTIVIEW has to offer. Another distinguishing feature is that it can
be connected to any CCD camera in conjunction with any sensor (i.e.,
frequency or infrared sensor) to become an easy to use home security
system with complete security functions. When a sensor, if used, senses any
intrusion, the picture window will appear on your screen and an alarm with
a beeping sound will alert the viewer.
In addition to the above two outstanding features the MULTIVIEW also has
a built-in clock for user set up of time/date.
Additional Features:
You can also connect other A/V equipment (such as a DVD or camcorder)
to your LOREX Multiview. You will need an RCA/BNC coupler (not
included) for each device you wish to connect.

When any sensor is triggered:
(1) Multiview’s internal buzzer is activated.
(2) Output 1 (NO and NC) is activated and triggers siren or light.
(3) Output 2 (NO and NC) is activated and triggers VCR to be ON.
For example : SENSOR 1 CH2 ON
SENSOR 2 CH3 ON
SENSOR 3 CH1 ON
a. If screen is displayed in 4/6/9 mode, in an event of sensor #2 being
triggered, screen changes display to SINGLE MODE picture.
If sensor #1 is triggered following sensor #2, then the screen changes
display to TWIN MODE picture. If sensor #3 is triggered following
sensor #1 and #2, then sensor #1 picture displays on the <main> window,
sensors #2 and #3 pictures display on the <sub> windows. The <sub>
windows auto switch every 3 seconds.
If all 3 sensors are activated, when AL DWELL time setting is less than
15 seconds, AL DWELL would be set at 15 seconds.
When AL DWELL is over, 4/6/9 mode returns.
b. If screen is displayed in Single/Twin mode, when AL DWELL
is over, screen returns to Single Mode.
(4) When sensor is triggered, date/time automatically displays on the screen.
(5) When trigger is activated, <BELL MT> can be pressed to turn off
Multiview’s internal buzzer.
(6) When trigger is activated, <AL RS> key can be pressed twice to turn off

1. Product Introduction
The LOREX MULTIVIEW has the ability to divide and display pictures on
a CCTV monitor. It can be connected to up to 9 security cameras. This
unit is able to provide various types of picture compositions. Through
operation from the remote control, the user is able to select the number of
pictures to appear on the screen. The picture composition can be selected
from one to up to 9 different pictures on the same screen.
Dividing the pictures on the same screen is one of the most basic functions
the MULTIVIEW has to offer. Another distinguishing feature is that it can
be connected to any CCD camera in conjunction with any sensor (i.e.,
frequency or infrared sensor) to become an easy to use home security
system with complete security functions. When a sensor, if used, senses any
intrusion, the picture window will appear on your screen and an alarm with
a beeping sound will alert the viewer.
In addition to the above two outstanding features the MULTIVIEW also has
a built-in clock for user set up of time/date.
Additional Features:
You can also connect other A/V equipment (such as a DVD or camcorder)
to your LOREX Multiview. You will need an RCA/BNC coupler (not
included) for each device you wish to connect.
