Operation Instruction

The DVR can be set to react to system events. System events can be associated with an Alarm-Out connector, sound the DVR’s internal buzzer, and/or notify a number of different devices.

Highlight the Alarm-Outbox beside the desired event (Check Recording, Check Alarm-In, Disk Almost Full, Disk Full, Disk Bad, Disk Temperature, or Disk S.M.A.R.T.), and press the button. A list of Alarm Outputs appears. You can associate as many Alarm-Outs with the Event as you wish. If the DVR detects that event, it triggers output signals on all the associated Alarm-Out connectors. You can also have the DVR’s internal buzzer sound if an event is detected.
