several alarm channels.
Alarm in: Here is for you to select channel number.

PTZ activation: When an alarm occurred, system can activate the PTZ operation such as
preset x.
Anti-dither: Here you can set anti-dither time. The value ranges from 5 to 600s. The
anti-dither time refers to the alarm signal lasts time. It can be seem as th e alarm signal
activation stays such as the buzzer, tour, PTZ activation, snapshot, channel record. The stay
time here does not include the latch time. During the alarm process, the alarm signal can
begin an anti-dither time if system detects the local alarm again. The screen prompt, alarm
upload, email and etc will not be activated. For example, if you set the anti -dither time as 10
second, you can see the each activation may last 10s if the local alarm is activated. During
