when an alarm is activated along with scheduling when the alarms are active.

schedule for when alarms are active.
Clicking the Set button opens up
a new window. Its operation is
exactly like the setting window used
to schedule motion detection and
covered in Section 3.4.

of time for specific days of the week or by

down allows you to specify which days are
work days and which are not.

recording on an alarm.

enabled.
Alarm Continue – This is the time that the DVR will wait before starting a new event (10
seconds to 300 seconds (5 minutes)) after the alarm is ended.
Show Message – When this is enabled, an alert message will be displayed on the DVR's
screen.
Show Message – When this is enabled, the system will bring up the Alarm Status window
whenever an event is detected. You can configure this to display when motion, video
loss or masking is detected.

monitoring service.

PTZ Activation – If you have Pan-Tilt-Zoom
cameras connected to the DVR, you
can cause them to be activated when
an alarm occurs. You can further
instruct it to perform one of 255 pre-
set activities. You can also allow a
delay of 0 to 300 seconds before
the PTZ camera(s) activates. Setting
up these pre-programmed functions
is covered in Section 5.2 PTZ
Control and Setup.
Tour - When enabled, this causes the DVR's display to cycle through selected Live View
channels while maintaining the selected recording functions. Instructions for
configuring this feature are found in the Motion Events menu as shown in Section
3.4 Recording.
Snapshot - When this is selected, the DVR will begin recording still images, in addition
to whatever video is being recorded, and it will upload or e-mail these images as
configured in in the Motion Events menu as well.
Buzzer - When enabled, the DVR will sound an audible alert when an alarm is triggered.
IMPORTANT! When you have completed your setup in the Alarm menu,
you should also review your settings in the Record Settings menu to enable
any other desired alarm-related features.
