The Alarm Menu
This is the ALARM SETUP menu. If you
have external sensors connected to the
DVR or an alarm connected to the DVR,
this is where you set them up.
Additionally, from this menu you can
configure the DVR to emit an alarm tone
from it's internal buzzer, or configure the
DVR to send an 'Auto-Mail' email alert
when motion is detected or an alarm
sensor is triggered.
Please Note: We are unable to offer any technical support for attaching
external sensors to this DVR. This is due mainly to the huge variation between
different sensor types from different manufacturers, as well as the differences due
to environmental factors. We recommend that only advanced users or professional
installers use this feature. The DVR's motion detection feature provides the vast
majority of the functionality of external sensors and is much easier to configure.
I/O Channel: These channels correspond to the four channels to which cameras
are connected. Thus, if you are using external sensors, you should connect them
directly to the input for the video channel you want to be associated with.
I/O Status: This needs to be set in accordance with any sensors you have
connected to the DVR. If there is no sensor attached to a channel, leave this set
to OFF. NO stands for "Normally Open" - select this if the sensors usually have an
'open' circuit which closes when something is detected. NC stands for "Normally
Closed". Choose this if your sensors provide closed circuits which open when it
detects something.
HDD Loss: Will trigger an alarm/buzzer if the hard drive stops functioning.
HDD Space: Will trigger an alarm/buzzer when the hard drive is out of space.
Video Loss: Will trigger an alarm/buzzer when a camera stops supplying images.
Alarm Management: Here you can configure how the DVR will alert you in the
case of an internal alarm event. You can select whether the DVR attempts to
trigger an external alarm or sounds an internal buzzer, as well as how long this
alarm/buzzer will be active.
Email Setup: See page 34.
