Alarms

Alarm settings are required to enable a variety of functions concerning alarms

throughout the system, from PTZ Presets to Schedules and more. Remember that this

entire set of Alarm functions can be set on a per channel basis, allowing great flexibility

and innovative Sensor/Alarm/Recording combinations.

Note: To “trigger an Alarm” means that the system is in an Alarm “condition” for a

specific Camera, for a specified Alarm Output Duration, causing one or more Alarm

Actions to occur. Once the Alarm is no longer being “triggered”, the Duration will count

the specified number of seconds, at which time the Alarm “condition” will end.

There are 5 tabs under Alarms, plus two buttons that function for all tabs:

Copy To…: Allows you to copy the current channels settings to some or all of the

other channels.

NOTE: Once all of the Alarm detection and handling settings are set, you must go to the

Main GUI, Channel Control, select Alarm, and activate the Alarm detection for the

channels you want. Alternately, activating the automated Schedule via the Main Menu

also activates all Alarm scheduled detection.
