Alarm: Exception - Swann DIGITAL VIDEO RECORDER Instruction Manual

Alarm: Exception

An "Exception" is any deviation from the DVR's normal behaviour - phrased another
way, it's like saying the DVR has been working fine except for these events.
Exception Type:
What event type you'd like 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.
HDD Full: As the name suggests, this event occurs when the DVR runs out of space
on the hard drive to save new footage. This event is redundant if you've got overwrite
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 drive, 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 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 Conflict:
This event will occur if the DVR detects another device on the network
using the same IP address. This shouldn't occur if you're using DHCP.
Audio Warning: The DVR will use its buzzer to emit an alarm tone.
Send Email: The DVR will send an auto-email alert when the event type you've selected
occurs.
Show Exception: The DVR will display an "error' icon at the bottom right corner of the
main screen when the event type that you've selected occurs. Click on the icon to know
more about the exception that occurred.
