Q-See MODEL QC40196, MODEL QC40198 user manual Video Loss, Camera Masking, Event Response

You cannot use Copy/Paste in Motion Detection because each channel will have a different display. Right-clicking will exit the screen and your settings will be saved.

Sensitivity – The system supports six levels of sensitivity with Level 6 being the most sensitive.

VIDEO LOSS

By default, this is enabled. In the event that the DVR detects a loss of signal from a camera, it will send out a notification or activate other functions based on your settings in the lower portion of the Detect window.

CAMERA MASKING

This is also enabled by default. If the system detects that something has covered a camera, it will respond based on your settings in the lower portion of the window.

EVENT RESPONSE

The lower portion of the Detect window determines what actions the DVR will initiate upon detection of one of the three event types. Responses to a specific type of event can be individually tailored to each camera, but the response to different types of events must be set independently of each other. (ie: The response settings for a motion detection event do not change the settings for a video loss event – even if you’ve set identical responses.)

Period - This is where you set the schedule of when you want the DVR to record motion events. It operates in the same manner as the Schedule menu as described in Section 4.6 with six blocks of time that can be laid out for recording to occur during a day. Not all blocks have to be configured or enabled. You can configure each day individually, or you can make

separate schedules for week daysPICTURE 4-20and weekends.

PICTURE 4-21

The Set button will appear when either Work Day or Free Day is selected in the drop-down. This allows you to arrange the schedule to reflect your business’ weekly schedule.

PICTURE 4-22

The Copy and Paste buttons allow you to duplicate a day’s settings on another day while the Default button returns the DVR to recording Motion Detection events 24/7.

Once you have made your settings, select OK to save them and you will be returned to the Detect menu. Hitting Cancel or right-clicking to exit the menu will not save your changes.

Anti-Dither – This is the length of time that the DVR will delay before recording a motion event. The delay can be from 0 to 600 seconds.

Latch – This is the “hold time” that the system waits after a motion detection event ends before resuming motion detection searches. The delay can be set from 10 to 300 seconds (5 minutes).

Alarm Out – To utilize this feature you must connect have at least one external alarm attached to the DVR. You may have up to three separate alarms.

Show Message – When this is enabled, the system will bring up the Alarm Status window whenever an event is detected. You can configure this to display when motion, video loss or masking is detected.

Alarm Upload – The system can upload the alarm to the network including to an alarm monitoring service.

Send E-mail – E-mail notifications can be sent a single e-mail address. Please see Network in Section 5.3 Setting Menu for instructions on how to set up the e-mail alerts including recipient address.

Record Channel – When one camera detects an event, you can set the DVR to activate recording on other cameras.

PTZ Activation – If you have Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras connected to the DVR, you can cause them to be activated when the system detects an event. You can further instruct it to perform one of

255 pre-set activities. You can also allow a delay of 0 to 300 seconds before the PTZ camera(s) activates.

See Section 6.2 for full instructionsPICTURE 4-23on programming these functions.

Snapshot – The DVR is capable of taking still images which can be sent via e-mail or FTP (See Network in Section

5.3Setting Menu for full instructions.)
