Event Monitoring
The Event Monitoring screen allows you to set up your HDVR client to react to events that take place in
the server or servers to which it is connected.
To activate the Event Monitoring feature, you must first create and define a new Event Monitoring
Profile. A profile is a set of actions (e.g. the playing of live video or an alarm sound) triggered by
sources such as video motion, input triggers, etc. Each profile can then be activated and assigned to a
specific video panel by the user.
To create a new profile, click the New button in the Profiles field.
