Pre-alarm Record: Check the box to start copying the recordings to the hard disk from 5 seconds before the alarm event occurs. Note that the pre-alarm recording rate will follow the Normal Speed configured in the earlier section (see 6.2.1 Basic Setting).

Buzzer: Check the box to enable the buzzer when an alarm event is triggered.

Email Notify: Check the box to send email notification when an alarm event is detected. Email operation requires valid email entered in the Email setup menu (see 6.6.2 Email).

Network Alarm: Check the box to send out a network alarm to a client PC when an alarm event occurs. This feature works with EverFocus’ CMS software, including PowerCom and PowerVideo Plus. You will need to configure the Alarm Server for the DVR to send network alarms to the client PC (see 6.6.4 Alarm Server).

Auto Lock: Check the box and the events will be recorded in a write protected segment of the hard disk (will not be overwritten). The DVR will lock a period of time when the alarm occurs. The length of the time depends on DVR setting (see 6.7.2 Lock / Format).
