This blog is all about what each button does on the Live View within the Montavue Go 2.0 app. You will get to this section by clicking the play button next the the NVR or device that you have added to your mobile device. You can also swipe left and right to be able to cycle through your cameras on the live screen in the top section if you have more cameras then what is displayed. Some features will not have any use as some cameras may not be able to use them due to not having the feature available on the camera.
