Check the Nopen (Normally open) box if the switch connected to the alarm input is a

Input the frame per second for individual cameras. The default frame rate is 25 f/s.

Every time when the alarm is triggered, the pre-alarm recording image will be saved

Click OK to confirm the input.
Tip:
Pre-alarm lets you review images prior to the actual happening of
the alarm event. Also, pre-alarm keeps the images only when the
alarm is actually taking place, so that storage space can be used
more effectively. This mode is more effective than that in
scheduled recording.
