EVENT AND ALARM RECORDING
Use the Record On Events & Alarms screen to program event and alarm recording.
An event might be something ordinary you want recorded; for example, a storeroom door opening during business hours. An alarm, however, is more serious; for example, a storeroom door opened after hours or a panic button pressed.
NOTE: When a set alarm is activated, all resources are dedicated to performing alarm functions. Event, motion, and scheduled recording are disabled while an alarm is activated. The priority in re- cording is contact alarm (highest), motion alarm, contact event, motion event, scheduled recording. Contact event and motion event recording are interleaved with scheduled recording (that is, motion or event images are alternated with the scheduled images). Contact alarm and motion alarm record- ing, however, interrupts the scheduled recording and takes over completely.
When an alarm is triggered, there is no indication on the viewing monitor.
