ALARM SETTINGS
The Alarm Settings area allows the administrator of the DVR to set alarms for a number of alarm types.
The most important is setting alarms for motion detection and digital input on different cameras. This is a
complex task, so in order to understand this area please read over this part carefully. There are also
alarms for disk failure, disk capacity limitation, and no camera signals. Take a look at the detailed
descriptions below to understand alarm settings.
Motion Detection on each camera can be configured under the first setting screen (Cam). However,
users may not be aware when motion detection is triggered. Under “
Alarms
”, periods of time can be set
up so as to trigger an alarm when motion is sensed. There are four areas of configuration:
Camera
,
Pre-alarm recording
,
Enable-Trigger Period
, and
Alarm Triggering Device
.

period (ex: The same kind of alarm will be overleaped during the Alarm Duration) and the recording frame
rate when alarm-received. (Which only functions when you selected the record trigger mode) It is
adjustable for each is camera and DI.
