8.7  Setting Alarm Response Actions 
Purpose 
Alarm response actions will be activated when an alarm or exception occurs, including Full Screen 
Monitoring, Audible Warning (buzzer), Notify Surveillance Center, Send Email and Trigger Alarm 
Output. 
Full Screen Monitoring 
When an alarm is triggered, the local monitor (HDMI, VGA or CVBS monitor) displays in full screen 
the video image from the alarming channel configured for full screen monitoring.   
If alarms are triggered simultaneously in several channels, their full-screen images will be switched 
at an interval of 10 seconds (default dwell time). A different dwell time can be set by going to 
Menu > Configuration > Live View.   
Auto-switch will terminate once the alarm stops and you will be taken back to the Live View 
interface. 
Audible Warning 
Trigger an audible beep when an alarm is detected. 
Notify Surveillance Center 
Sends an exception or alarm signal to remote alarm host when an event occurs. The alarm host 
refers to the PC installed with Remote Client.
