1.6 Critical Alerts
The Vi100 constantly monitors the hard drive, camera inputs and system so that detected
fault conditions will be reported to the user as soon as possible by means of a “critical alert”
message on the screen. Alerts are also added to the event list.

The positions of any solid blocks displayed on the “Self Test” row
indicate various fault conditions.
o Enter the menu, change any setting and return to LIVE mode so
that settings are saved.
