ALARM FRAME RATE: This function is used to set the frame rate of the DVR during

an active Alarm event. After an Alarm Event is triggered (See Alarm Options for more

details on Event Triggering), the DVR could be set to record at a different frame rate

than it normally runs at. This feature could allow a user to have substantially more

record time than listed on any of the high quality video settings alone. An example

would be if the DVR was set at REC FPS: 4P (4 fields per second) as a normal slide

show recording for non-event video, and set at ALARM FPS: 60P, and ALARM REC:

30 MIN, for 30 minutes for Alarm Event Recording. Using this setting, the user of the

DVR could expect to have high quality video during the event, and not waste hard

drive space on non-eventful recording. Reference Figure 50.

RECORD DURATION: This function is used to set the amount of time that the DVR

records at the ALARM FPS frame rate. Time options include 1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30

minutes, and Continuous.

SIGNAL DURATION: This function is used to set the amount of time that the DVR

sounds the audible alarm after the alarm trigger event. Time options include 1, 5, 10,

15, 20, 25, 30 minutes, and Continuous.

Audible Alarm Options

This item takes you to another screen that allows you to customize what activates the

audible alarms. An asterisk beside the item indicates that the item in question will

create a beeping alarm when this event occurs. Pressing the SEL button when the

cursor is set to a particular line toggles the asterisk on or off. Reference: Figure 51.
