Pelco DVR5100 manual Responding to Alarms, Acknowledging AN Alarm Event

Page 35

Responding to 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. An alarm event must be acknowledged before it will disappear from the screen. Any user with permissions to do so can respond to an alarm event. The alarm message might provide instructions on how to respond to the alarm event. If the alarm event meets certain criteria, an e-mail might be sent to designated staff. To set up automatic e-mail notification, you must create a script to do so, and your system must have a mail server configured. Contact your system administrator to verify that your system is configured to send automatic e-mail messages about alarms.

ACKNOWLEDGING AN ALARM EVENT

The DVR5100 provides a message that can instruct you on how to respond to certain alarm events. If there are several alarms displayed on the Alarm Received dialog box (Figure 39), you can acknowledge all alarms at the same time. By default, all new alarms are selected at the same time. Selecting the Ack icon acknowledges all alarms. Note that you must select a single alarm if you want to review its comments. Turn the jog (inner dial) to select a single alarm if you want to review its comments.

NOTE: The instructions in this manual refer to the DVR5100 Control Pad. Refer to Navigating Through Menus with the KBD5000 Keyboard on page 4 and Navigating Through Menus with a PC Keyboard and Mouse on page 6 for alternate keystrokes if you are using either of these devices.

The user interface of the DVR5100 is designed with simplicity in mind, offering intuitive navigation through its menus and settings. This ease of use is complemented by comprehensive search features, enabling quick retrieval of recorded videos based on time, date, or event type.
