You can find the Alarm/User log button in the Setup functional Panel in

the System Function section. The Alarm/User log dialog is as below:

When the local Chateau System’s

alarm is triggered or an alarm is

received from the remote end, these

alarms will be logged to the alarm

The log sheet (table) will display the

alarm time (occurrence time), the

name of the host that triggers the

alarm, VGuard board name and

camera name, alarm type (i.e. local

or remote), and the way the alarm is

triggered, i.e. by intrusion into the

motion detection area (Camera), by

video lost, or by the signal received

from the input port.

The confirmation section in the

alarm log indicates when the alarm video is played; the confirmation

section will change from “No” to “Yes”. This means that the alarm log has

been checked. Click Open button to play the alarm video of the selected

alarm log entry; or directly double click on the desired alarm log entry to

play its recorded alarm video. If no video file exists, then nothing will

happen.
