Advanced Configuration
If you're reading this page, it means that either:
• You've got the NVR set up, but it's standard recording
program isn't for you. Fair enough - we cater to all
requirements here.
• You're interested in what other options and capabilities
the NVR has. Excellent - the answer is "a lot".
• Everything works except just that one thing that isn't
right but you don't know where the option is. Darn. We'll
try and get you fixed up by the end of this page.
There are some sections of Advanced Configuration that we
think are of benefit for most NVR owners to know about - in
particular, the Alarm settings and the Email Configuration of
the NVR.
By Default...
• The NVR has motion recording enabled on every channel,
configured to operate at an average level of sensitivity.
• To be a little more likely to record an border-line motion
event than not (we think it's better to get a false trigger
than miss an event).
• To record video each time it detects a motion event, but
not notify you via email (all events will be listed in the log).
To alter the NVR's default behavior, you'll need to change some
of the advanced settings.
You can do this by using either the NVR's built-in interface or
SwannView Link PC software (as detailed, see
Link: Device Settings" on page 51

Quick Reference
Some of the more common reasons to have a look in the
Advanced Configuration include:
Configuring the IP Cameras
If you want the NVR to display your IP cameras in a particular
order or you've bought extra cameras and want to add them
to your NVR display or you'd like to remove cameras from
your NVR display, then you'll need to look at:
• "IP Channel" on page 23
Altering the Recording Schedule
The recording schedule is one of the most important things to
get right when configuring the NVR. More information about
the schedule can be found at:
• "Recording: Schedule" on page 28
Configuring the Auto-Email Functions
If you want the NVR to notify you via email when it detects a
motion event, then you'll need to configure:
• "Network: Advanced: Email Settings" on page 36
• "Alarm: Motion Detection - Action" on page 41
• "Alarm: Motion Detection Notes" on page 40
Altering the Motion Detection Settings
If you want to change the way the NVR handles motion, then
you'll need to look at:
"SwannView
• "Alarm: Motion" on page 38
