Anti-Dither: This field allows the user to set the anti-dither time. The values in this field can range from 5 to
600 seconds. This time value controls how long the alarm signal lasts. Based on motion detection, a buzzer
can go off, a tour can begin, PTZ can be activated, a snapshot can be taken, or a channel can begin recording.
o
For example, if the anti-dither time is set to 10 seconds, each alarm may last 10 seconds if the local
alarm is activated. During the process, if the system detects another local alarm signal at the fifth
second, the buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, record channel functions will begin another 10
seconds while the screen prompt, alarm upload, email will not be activated again. After 10 seconds,
if system detects another alarm signal, it can generate a new alarm since the anti-dither time has
expired.
