Exception Options
An exception is any deviation from the DVR's normal behaviour - phrased another
way, it's like saying the DVR's been working fine except for these events
Option
Exception
Select the event type you want the DVR to react to. By configuring
Type
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 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: 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 Conflict: 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 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 DVR uses its internal buzzer to emit an alarm tone.
Send Email
The DVR sends an auto-email alert when the event type you've
selected occurs. Selecting Email Settings brings you to the same
email configuration screen accessible from the Network menu -
see "Email" on page 18 for details.
Show
The DVR displays the
Exception
Live View screen when the selected event type occurs. Click the
icon to access the Exception Log and learn about the exception
that occured.
Trigger Alarm
The DVR triggers an alarm signal from one or both alarm output
Ouput
terminals. The alarm output must be correctly connected and
configured.
