Voice Repeat - sets the number of times the voice message is repeated on the voice call
Rec. Time - sets the time for which audio is recorded
Modem Speaker - sets the internal or external speaker to be used
Voice File - selects the voice file to be sent
Edit File Name - enables you to change the file name of the voice file
Use the keyboard or mouse to complete all fields and click OK to save changes. Refer to the
following sections to see how to select voice call as the required action for specific events such as
GPI alarm and so on.
Note: The Voice Call options will be grayed out in the menu system if the voice modem
function is not selected in the serial port setup menu. Make sure that a voice modem is
enabled in the device field in the Serial Ports menu item in order to place voice calls.
Voice call features
A voice call message can be recorded using an internal or external microphone, and can be
played back using an internal or external speaker.
Up to 60 voice messages can be recorded and stored on the LE/LE-HC DVR and used for
different alarm events.
Messages recorded for the voice call function must be between 5 and 10 seconds in length.
Known issues with the voice call function
There will be three seconds of silence between a voice call being answered and the start of the
message.
If the voice call function calls a phone with an automatic answering machine, the LE/LE-HC DVR
will behave as if the phone has been answered.
The LE/LE-HC DVR does not support non-standard ring tones. If the LE/LE-HC DVR calls a phone
and a non-standard ring tone is received, an error message will be generated.
GPI alarm
Use the GPI Alarm menu under the Alarm tab to set what actions are taken when a GPI alarm is
generated. You can set up the alarm through a message, a beep, a video popup, or E-mail.
