Buzzer settings
When an alarm is triggered by the system or a camera, the recorder can be set up to
respond with a warning buzzer. The buzzer time is the time that it takes for the recorder
to time-out the buzzer when a continuous alarm occurs. For example, when a physical
alarm input is continuously triggered, the buzzer will time out after the time specified.
Select
Alarm & Event Setup > Buzzer Settings
and select a buzzer time limit for the
system and camera alarms. Select Mute, 5 s, 10 s, 20 s, 30 s, 60 s, 120 s, 240 s, or
Constant. Default is mute.
