Alarm: Motion Detection - Action

view of a corner or path. You may find that using the camera with the narrow view for motion detection gives fewer false triggers
and doesn't miss an event as often as the really wide view might, so triggering the wide view to record as well ensures you know
where the subject went after they left the narrow view.
One camera might face a public area, while another camera looks down a private corridor which exits into the public area.
Having the camera in the private area trigger the one in the public area to record can give you a record of where a subject went
after they left the private area, without filling your hard drive with recordings triggered by random passers by.
The Trigger Camera option will override the recording mode that has been set for the
camera at that particular time that it is triggered for recording.

Alarm: Video Loss

Audio Warning: The DVR will use its internal buzzer to emit
an alarm tone. It sounds like an old computer indicating an
error, or a large truck backing up.
Send Email: The DVR will send an auto-email alert when
the event type you've selected occurs. The Email Settings
button will take you to the same email configuration screen
accessible from the Network menu - see

Trigger Camera: You can define one camera's motion
detection to trigger recording on one or more other
cameras.

Alarm: Video Loss
Video Loss is regarded as a potential alarm event, and is considered to
occur any time that the DVR doesn't receive an active video signal on any
of its inputs.
The default behaviour of the DVR, when a channel has no incoming
video signal, is simply to display "Video Loss" in white text on a black
background over the associated channel. If you're not using all the inputs
on your DVR, then some channels will be in "permanent" Video Loss
state. Just be sure that you don't enable a video loss action for these
channels.
Channel: Which channel/camera you'd like to set the Video Loss
behaviour for.
Enable: Whether the selected channel has video loss monitoring active
or not.
Schedule: Alters when the current Video Loss Action will be active.
Action: The action you'd like the DVR to take when this event occurs. It's
set in the same way as the Action for any other event.
