If an event is configured with a recording action, there will be a play button to the left of the 

alarm message.  

Click and read a text-only alarm will turn off the alarm icon 

. The alarm icons 

 indicate 

unread alarms. The number of unread alarms will be listed on the title bar.    

The alarm playback window will begin playback of a footage taken 

10 seconds

 before the 

occurrence of an alarm. The playback of an alarm-triggered recording will normally last for 

one 

minute

. If, however, you configured a shorter pre- and post-alarm recording time, your alarm 

recording may be slightly shorter. The default for 

pre-

 and 

post-alarm

 buffer time are 5 seconds 

and 20 seconds.
