Modifying the warning buzzer
When an alarm is triggered by the system or a camera, the DVR can be set up to
respond with a warning buzzer. You can modify the time during which the
warning buzzer sounds for both system and camera alarm. Select
Alarm >
Advanced Settings and select a buzzer time limit for the system and camera
alarms. Default is mute.
Setting up motion detection
Motion detection is one of the most important features of a DVR. With it there is
no need to manually search through hours of video recordings to find an event.
The TVR 41 can be set up to trigger an alarm if it detects motion and to record it.
You can then search these recorded motion activities for specific incidents. If
enabled, motion detection recording can help increase the number of days your
DVR can record.
You can mask out any areas of motion on a camera display that you do not want
to trigger a recording such as a flag on a pole or a moving tree.
Select the level of sensitivity to motion as well the target size so that only objects
that could be of interest can trigger a motion recording. For example, recording
is triggered by the movement of a person but not that of a cat.
You can set up both the schedule and areas sensitive to motion detection for
each camera individually or easily copy the settings of one camera to other
cameras. You can also select a specific audio alarm file to play for a camera or
group of cameras.
