The Alarm Settings area allows the administrator of the PRO 16/8 RAID DVR to set
alarms for a number of functions. The most important is setting alarms for motion
detection 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, and
disk capacity. Users have options to relay alarms to a number of devices. Take a
look at the detailed description below to understand alarm settings.
Setting Motion Detection on each camera can be configured under the first screen
(Cam). However, users may not be aware when motion detection is triggered.
Therefore, under “
Alarms
”, periods of time can be setup so as to trigger an alarm
when motion is sensed.
There are four areas of configuration:
General, Camera, Enable-Trigger Period, and Alarm Triggering Device.
