ALARM NOTIFICATION

The DVR5100 remote client allows you to acknowledge or snooze an alarm notification. You can also read instructions or comments about the alarm, or add a note to the system log explaining your response. If there are more alarms than can fit in the list, you can resize the dialog box by dragging the lower-right corner to a larger size. All alarm activity is automatically logged on the system log.

In addition to user notifications, alarms can also trigger the activation of scripts that set one or more events in motion. Possible scripted responses to an alarm include e-mails, positioning cameras, and recording and displaying video from nearby cameras. You can program scripts through the Scripts tab in the Setup screen. For information about creating a script, refer to Creating Scripts on page 102.

The DVR5100 remote client Alarms tab lists those alarms that the current user is authorized to view. This tab is empty if you select not to subscribe to any alarm notifications. You can be notified of the alarm event in several ways:

•You can set an alarm notification to sound.

Additionally, the DVR5100 features customizable recording settings. Users can choose from various recording modes – continuous, scheduled, or event-triggered – to best suit their surveillance needs. The inclusion of motion detection technology further enhances its functionality, allowing the system to capture footage only when activity is detected, thus conserving storage space and reducing the clutter of non-critical recordings.

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.

In summary, the Pelco DVR5100 is a robust digital video recorder that excels in providing high-quality surveillance capabilities, advanced compression technologies, and user-friendly features.
