HDD MANAGE

This displays some of the same information found in the HDD Info window in the Info menu (see Section 5.2) but this window allows you to make additional settings.

The drive name and status is displayed.

The status indicators are:

ODrive is operating normally. X Indicates an error

- Hard drive not installed ? Hard drive is damaged

PICTURE 5-27

Clicking on Alarm Set opens the Abnormality window which is covered immediately following this section.

Alarm Release – this turns off any disk alarm that may be occurring. You can set the hard drive to four states:

Read/Write

 

Normal operation. The device records (writes) files to disk and

plays (reads)

 

them.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Read Only

 

No more files can be recorded onto the drive, but existing files

can be viewed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Format

 

Reformats the hard drive.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Recover

 

If you are having problems with the hard drive, including corrupted files,

 

 

selecting Recover causes the drive to re-set, but does not erase its contents.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION! Reformatting the hard drive will erase all recorded events.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No changes will take place unless the Execute button is pressed once you’ve made your selection. The drive’s status will be displayed next to the Type heading below the pull-downs. If you make changes and press Execute, the DVR will restart once you press OK to exit. You cannot right-click out of the menu.

ABNORMALITY

This window allows you to set up alarms for disk and system disconnection errors as well as how these alarms are handled. Each type of alarm can be independently enabled along with what events that type of alarm will trigger.

Event type – Chose from No Disk, Disk Error, Disk No Space, Net Disconnected and IP Conflict.

Alarm Out – The alarm can be sent to up to three external alarm devices connected to the DVR

Latch – This is the “hold time” that the DVR will wait before issuing another alarm. The delay can be set to between 1 to 300 seconds (5 minutes).

Show Message – When enabled, this will

display the event notification on the

 

DVR’s screen.

 

Alarm Upload – This will send the alarm signal to a network, including an alarm monitoring center.

Send E-mail – this will send an e-mail notification to the recipient address set up in the Network menu (see Section 8.2 Advanced Network Setup).

ALARM OUTPUT

Alarm configuration is covered in Chapter 7. This window allows you to quickly change the operating mode of connected alarms – Schedule, Manual (on) or Stop (off) - as well as showing the status of any connected alarms.

You can turn change the mode of the alarms

 

individually or all at once by clicking the circle

 

in the All column. In addition to activating

 

them to operate based according to their

 

schedule, you can turn them on or off. This

 

will override the scheduling set up in Section

 

7.3 and elsewhere.

 

If alarms are properly connected, the

 

Status indicator boxes for that alarm will be
