9.6.1 UNDERSTANDING EXCEPTION TRIGGER OPTIONS
When setting up exception handlers for such features as motion detection and sensor alarms, you may select triggering
options to alert you of these exceptions.
The triggering options that you may select include:
• Pop-up Image on Monitor: When an alarm is triggered, the local monitor (VGA or BNC monitor) will display
an image under Live Preview mode. This alarm can be configured under the Popup Alarm Image handle
method. For alarms that are triggered simultaneously, images will be displayed one at a time every 10
seconds (default dwell time). A different dwell time can be set by going to Menu > Setting > Display > Dwell
Time. Once the alarm stops, cycling of the images will also stop and you’ll be returned to the Live Preview
screen.
• Audio Warning: Trigger an audible beep when exception is detected.
• Notify Surveillance Center: Sends a signal to remote alarm host when exception is detected (See
Configuring a Remote Alarm Host).
• Trigger Alarm Output: Trigger an alarm output when exception is detected. Alarm output can be configured
by following the steps listed in Setting Up Sensor Alarms.
• Send Email: Sending email when exception is detected. Sending email can be configured by following the
steps listed in Configuring E-mail Settings.
