Buzzer: Whether the internal alarm speaker inside the DVR is enabled or not. When set to OFF, the buzzer will not sound under any circumstances.

You can choose which types of alarm events will trigger the buzzer by selecting or deselecting the first tick box next to the type of alarm event you want to trigger the buzzer.

We suggest leaving the buzzer enabled, and having it sound on HDD Loss, HDD Space and Video Loss alarm events. This way, the DVR will give you a warning if its operation is compromised (either it is unable to record more footage, or there is no incoming video feed to record).

MD Alarm: Whether the DVR’s Motion Detection function will trigger an alarm event. Note that this can be set independently of the Motion-based recording, which is controlled via the Schedule (page 25) and motion detection configuration (page 27) menus.

HDD Loss: Will trigger an buzzer/email if the hard drive stops functioning.

HDD Space: Will trigger an buzzer/email when the hard drive is out of space.

Video Loss: Will trigger an buzzer/email when a camera stops supplying images.

Email: See “Auto Email Setup Menu” on page 49.

Post-Recording:How long the DVR will continue to record after an alarm event (such as motion) occurs.

Pre-Record:Allows the DVR to save a short amount of footage taken before an event actually occurs. This can be particularly useful for video loss alarms, as you might just catch who or what caused this alarm event!
