3.3.12 Alarm
Use the Alarm menu to define what constitutes an alarm condition and how the VP- 101 reacts when such a condition
occurs. You can configure an alarm condition to be generated when motion is detected by the camera, if the video signal
is lost from a camera, if the disk space is too low, or if there is a disk error. Once the alarm is generated, you can set the
alarm notification through a beep, a message, a video popup, voice call, or E-mail.
The Alarm menu has the following submenus:
E-Mail -
enables you to set up an E-mail address and verify it is working correctly.
Video Popup (sec) -
sets the time for which a camera is displayed on your monitor when an alarm is generated.
Voice Call -
enables you to set conditions that generate a voice call when an alarm is triggered.
Set Action -
sets the action that will generate an alarm condition for each camera.
Note: The Voice Call option will only be displayed in the menu if the voice modem function is selected from the
serial port menu.
NOTE: Enable GPIO function may cause system efficiency drop down.
