Video Blind

Highlight Video Blind in the Event menu and press the

button. The Video Blind setup screen appears.

Figure 50 — Video Blind Settings screen.

The DVR checks to see if anything is blinding a camera.

Highlighting the box under the Sensitivity heading allows you to adjust the DVR’s

sensitivity to video blind for Black and White independently from 0 (Never) and 1

(least sensitive) to 15 (most sensitive).

NOTE: Video blind might NOT be detected for a camera with a very noisy image

especially when set for low sensitivity values.

Highlighting the box under the Activation Time heading allows you to set the duration before the DVR will report a

Video Blind. The DVR will not consider any blinded camera to be a Video Blind if the detected blindness is less than

the Activation Time set on this screen.

Highlight Use Ignoring Time and press the button to toggle between On and Off. When set to On, the DVR will

ignore video blind events occurred during the preset period. Highlighting Time Setup and press the

button allows

you to set up event ignoring time.

NOTE: The record action for motion events will not be affected by the Video Blind ignoring function.

Highlight the Actions 1 and Actions 2 tabs and the Video Blind Actions 1 and Actions 2 screens display.

The DVR can be set to react to video blind differently for each

camera. Each camera can be associated with another camera,

trigger an Alarm-Out connector, sound the DVR’s internal

buzzer, notify a number of different devices, move PTZ

cameras to preset positions, and/or display a camera on a

SPOT monitor.

Highlight the box under the Record heading and press the

button. A list of cameras appears. You can associate as many

cameras with that camera as you wish. If the DVR detects

video blind on the selected camera, it starts recording video

from all the associated cameras.

NOTE: For the Record action, the camera you select should be set to the Event or Time & Event recording mode

in the Record Schedule setup screen.
