Figure 17 ─ Video Loss setup screen.
The DVR checks to see if anything is obscuring the camera. Highlight the slider bar beside Check
Obscuration, and use the Left and Right arrow buttons to adjust the setting. The sensitivity can be set
from Never to 10 (extremely sensitive).
The DVR can be set to react to video loss differently for each camera. Highlighting the box under the Actions
heading and pressing the button allows you to set up event actions for video loss.
Record ─ Associate as many cameras with that camera as you wish. If the DVR detects video loss on the
selected camera, it starts recording video from all the associated cameras.
Alarm-Out ─ Select between Alarm Output and Beep (DVR’s internal buzzer) that you would like to activate
and to sound whenever the DVR detects video loss on the selected camera.
Notify ─ You can toggle the individual notification items On and Off by highlighting that item and pressing
the button. Highlight OK and press the button to accept your changes.
PTZ ─ Select the preset position for each PTZ camera, where you want PTZ cameras to move to when the
DVR detects video loss on the selected camera’s input.
Spot Monitor ─ Associate a camera with the Spot monitor. The DVR will display the associated camera on
the Spot monitor whenever it detects video loss on the selected camera.
NOTE: For the Record action, the camera you select should be set to the Event or Time & Event
recording mode in the Record Schedule setup screen.
NOTE: For the Alarm-Out action, the alarm output and beep you select should be set to the Event
mode in the Alarm-Out setup screen (Schedule tab).
NOTE: For the Notify action, the notify item you select should be enabled in the Notification setup
screen and the DVR should be registered in the DX-PC For View (Remote Administration System).
You can save your Video Loss changes by highlighting Save and pressing the button. Selecting Cancel
exits the screen without saving the changes.
