Working with Alarms

Each time an alarm occurs, the DVR5100 displays an Alarm Received dialog box, which allows you to respond immediately to the event or elect to have the alarm event snoozed for a specified amount of time (refer to Figure 40). An alarm event must be acknowledged or snoozed before it disappears from the screen. The alarm details might provide instructions on how to respond to the alarm event.

NOTE: The DVR5100 can also generate an e-mail for a specific alarm event. Contact your system administrator to verify that your system is configured to send automatic e-mail messages about alarms.

ACKNOWLEDGING AN ALARM EVENT

If there are several alarms displayed on the Alarm Received dialog box (refer to Figure 40), you can acknowledge all alarms at the same time. By default, all new alarms are selected at the same time. All alarms are acknowledged when you select Acknowledge.

To acknowledge an alarm event, click the Acknowledge button. [Or, navigate to the Acknowledge button and press Enter/Shift .] The Alarm Received dialog box is closed and the acknowledgement is recorded in the system log.

SNOOZING AN ALARM EVENT

The DVR5100 allows you to postpone responses to an alarm event for a specified time period. Referred to as “snooze,” the alarm redisplays after the snooze time expires.

To snooze an alarm event:

1. Select an alarm while the Alarm Received dialog box is displayed (refer to Figure 41).
