Setting the Alarm Threshold Value
Each event type supported in the NVR has a pre-defined Severity Level value associated to it.
When the event occurs, the value is compared with the value in the Alarm Severity Threshold
box in the Preferences dialog box. The alarm is triggered only when the Severity Level value
is greater than the Alarm Severity Threshold value. See Appendix B, Event and Alarm Types
section on page 336 for default Event and Alarm types and their severity levels for Camera,
Recorder and SMART VMD.
For example, the alarm is triggered if the Severity Level for an event is 50 and the Alarm
Severity Threshold value is 40.
Note: Severity level for alarms are displayed in the Alarm window Refer the Alarms
section in MAXPRO NVR Operator’s Guide for more information.
To set the Alarm Severity Threshold value
