An
Exception
is
any deviation from
the NVR’s normal
behavior - phrased
another way, it’s like
saying the NVR’s
been working fine
except
for these
events
Exception Type:
What event type you’d like the NVR to react to. By configuring the
Action
for these
events, you can create any combination of audio alerts (see below) or auto-emails to be sent for different
event types.
•
HDD Full
: As the name suggests, this event occurs when the NVR runs out of space on the hard drive to
save new footage. This event is redundant if you’ve got overwrite enabled, as the NVR will automatically
delete old footage to ensure it can continue to record.
•
HDD Error
: Occurs when the NVR has trouble accessing its hard drives, or when it cannot detect one at
all. This error could be generated by either an internal hard drive, or an external one connected to the
eSATA port.
•
Net Disconnected
: Will occur if the NVR has problems connecting to the Internet. This may indicate a
problem with the NVR’s configuration, a fault with your network or a problem with your Internet Service
Provider (ISP).
IP Conflict
: This event will occur if the NVR detects another device on the same network with a conflicting
IP address. It’s a little like two houses with the same number being on the same street - one house might
get the other’s mail, or get woken up at all hours of the night being asked if someone named “Big Bob” lives
there. Basically, it indicates that two devices are trying to use the same IP address. This shouldn’t occur if
you’re using DHCP addressing, unless one or more devices is set to use a STATIC IP (the static
addressing method overrides the automatic assignment process).
Audio Warning
: The NVR will use its internal buzzer to emit an alarm tone. It sounds like an old computer
indicating an error, or a large truck backing up.
Send Email
: The NVR will send an auto-email alert when the event type you’ve selected occurs.
Show Exception:
The NVR will display the icon Error at the bottom right corner of the main screen when
the event type that you’ve selected occurs. Click on the icon to access the Event Log and know more about
the exception that occurred.
