Automatically
Display Alarms In
Live View
When enabled, the live camera feed corresponding to an alarm event will automatically be
displayed in the Live Viewer window. If the live view layout is full, the camera feed will replace
another that does not currently have an alarm event. If the site is not connected, it will reconnect
and display the live camera feed.
Maximum Alarm
Records
Set the maximum number of alarms to display in the Server Alarms window. When the number
of alarms to display in the Server Alarms window is reached, oldest alarms will be removed from
the window as new alarms are received. The range for this setting is 500 - 100,000; setting this
number too high can cause performance issues on systems.

The Hardware tab contains settings specific to the video rendering hardware installed on the client system.
