System Events

In this section of the menu, you can enable the DVR to monitor for alarm events or
exceptions. An exception is any deviation from the DVR's normal behavior– phrased
another way, it's like saying the DVR's been working fine except for these events.
Enable Event Hint: Enable the DVR to monitor for alarm events and system exceptions.
When an exception occurs, the DVR displays the icon on the Live View screen.
Event Hint Settings: Select the type of alarm events and exceptions that will trigger
the display of the icon.
Exception Type: Select the exceptions you want the DVR to react to. By configuring
the action for these events, you can create any combination of audio alerts or auto-
emails to be sent for different event types. The types of exception available are:
HDD Full: Occurs when the DVR runs out of space on the hard drive to save new
footage. This event is redundant if you have Overwrite setting enabled, as the
DVR will automatically delete old footage to ensure it can continue to record.
HDD Error: Occurs when the DVR has trouble accessing its hard drives, or
when it cannot detect one at all.
Network Disconnected: Occurs when the DVR has problems connecting to the
Internet. This may indicate a problem with the DVR's configuration, a fault
with your network or a problem with your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
IP Conflicted: Occurs when the DVR detects another device on the same network
with a conflicting IP address. Basically, it indicates that two devices are trying to
use the same IP address. This should not 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).
Illegal Login: This will occur if the DVR detects a login with an incorrect Username
or password.
