Swann Digital Video Recorder Manual page 22

English
Alarm: Motion Detection (see page 42)
Channel: The channel you're configuring the motion detection
settings for.
Enable: Whether the motion detection is enabled for the
channel currently selected.
Sensitivity: A sliding scale between 1 and 50. The number refers
to the number of pixels (as a percentage) that have to "change"
between frames - okay, this one is a little more complex than
this summary will allow. Seriously - check out page 42 for a
much more useful explanation of how motion detection works.
Action: What you'd like the DVR to do when it detects motion.
Typically (assuming the schedule is configured to do so) this will
be to record video. It can also be a cue to trigger an email alert,
or to sound the DVR's internal buzzer.
Alarm: Video Loss (see page 45)
Action (Check boxes): Whether you'd like the DVR to send an
email alert or to sound the DVR's internal buzzer.
Arm Schedule: The times of day/week you'd like the DVR to be
"armed" to detect video loss.
Alarm: Exception (see page 45)
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 (see below) or auto-emails to be
sent for different event types.
Audio Warning: Sounds the DVR's internal buzzer.
Send Email: Commands the DVR to send an email alert.
Show Exception: Shows any alerts that occur at the bottom
right corner of the main screen. Double-click on the alert
notification to see details.
Alarm: Sensor (page 46)
Note: The Alarm/Sensor functions of the DVR do require some
configuration and are considered an advanced feature. We suggest
that only users familiar with alarm sensor technology (or who are
game to learn) use this feature.
Alarm Input: The input on the Sensor/Alarm I/O Block that you
want to adjust the behavior of.
Alarm Name: You can set the name of the alarm to whatever
you'd like (for example, "Back Door Alarm" or "Main Hallway
PIR").
Type: Select whether the sensor is normally closed (N.C.) or
normally open (N.O.). Check your sensor's documentation to
learn what type it is.
Enable: Select whether the selected alarm input is enabled.
Schedule: Change when the alarm input is active or not.
Action: Select what you'd like the DVR to do in the event of thie
selected alarm input being triggered.
