Description of alarm notification types
When setting up the rules for alarm detection, you can specify how you want the
DVR to notify you about an alarm. You can select more than one notification
type. Not all notifications types are available for all types of alarms.
The alarm notification types are:
• Full-screen monitoring: Triggers the camera image in alarm to appear as
full-screen view.
• Audible warning: Triggers an audible beep when a notification or alarm is
detected.
• Notify surveillance center: Sends a signal to TruVision Navigator or other
software applications when an alarm or notification is detected.
• Send email: Sends an email when an alarm or notification is detected. See
“Configuring email” on page 36 for information on how to configure the DVR
to send an email.
• Trigger alarm output: Triggers an alarm output when a notification is
detected for an external alarm. See “Setting up external alarms” on page 28
for information on configuring an alarm output.
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.
