The
ALL/FREE
column in your HDD Management interface indicates the total amount of allocated space available
on the Hard Drive and the amount of unused space available on the Hard Drive.
The
FREE TIME
column will tell you how much recording time you have left on your system based on the current
settings and configuration details.
The
OVERWRITE
button in your HDD Management interface allows you to choose from a pull down list to enable
your system to automatically overwrite the oldest recorded files on your system once the hard drive is full or to turn
automatic overwrite off. Choose “Enable” or “Off” from the pull down list depending upon your preferences.
The
FORMAT HDD
button in your HDD Management interface
formats your HDD by erasing all the data and files that
are on the disc. Please note that you will not be able to record any files to your HDD until it has been formatted after
it has been installed in your DVR system. Clicking on the FORMAT HDD button will generate a prompt which warns
“Formatting HDD will erase all data. Are you sure you wish to Format?” Click the “OK” button at the bottom of that
prompt to continue. You will then receive a “successful format” notification and the system will restart automatically.
USB FORMAT:
Use this option to format USB devices.
5.2.7.2: Alarm Set
Clicking on the ALARM icon in the Device Management
interface (Picture 33) will allow you to configure your ALARM
settings. Once you click on the icon a pop up Alarm Setup
interface as illustrated in (Picture 35) will appear and you will
then be able to configure the various settings directly through
here. Some of the configurations you will be able to
configure through the Alarm Setup interface include alarm
buzzer notification for video loss, HDD connectivity problems
as well as your ability to be notified by email when an alarm is
generated.
A more detailed description of the various tabs that appear on
the Alarm Setup interface (Picture 35) are as follows, along
with a more thorough account of the options associated with
the pull-down menus associated with them:
•
The
I/O STATUS
tab allows you to choose from a drop down list to configure each Channel’s sensor alarm
settings. Choose the “Normal-Open” option on the drop down list or “Normal-Close” depending on the type
of sensor you are using. Choose the “Off” option if you are not using external alarm sensors and are using
the DVR’s built in motion detection. Using your DVR’s built in motion detection settings allows you to begin
recording in the event motion is detected.
Motion detection alarm notification is designed to notify you that there has been some movement detected by
your cameras. You can adjust the sensitivity of your cameras to suit the needs of your actual application
environment should you need to take into account such things as movement that is ongoing and not
obtrusive.
