Alarms
Alarms notify the occurrence of events to the operators. You can configure alarms to be
triggered for the following events: adding a camera, recorder disk space nearing full, motion
detection, and so on. The events that trigger an alarm can be selected while configuring
MAXPRO NVR.
Each alarm goes through the following states.
New or Unacknowledged
When an alarm is triggered it appears in the Alarm window. The state of the alarm after it is
triggered is referred to as unacknowledged. You can view the list of all the unacknowledged
alarms in a table in the Alarm window. For each unacknowledged alarm, the following details
are listed.
The number of unacknowledged alarms is displayed in a blinking mode in the status bar in red
color (for example, Alarms (10) indicate that there are ten unacknowledged alarms).
Acknowledged
An acknowledged alarm indicates that the operator has taken the necessary action. After
acknowledging the alarm, it is moved to the acknowledged alarms list in the Alarm window.
Cleared
After the response action is taken, you can remove or clear the alarms from the acknowledged
list in the Alarm window.
Beep on alarm
The beep on alarm option can be selected if you want the beep sound to occur when there is
an active alarm. The option is selected by default. To deselect the option, right-click the alarms
indicator on the status bar, and then click to clear the Beep on Alarm check box.
Acknowledging Alarms
You can acknowledge an alarm to accept that the necessary response action is being taken.
To acknowledge an alarm
1. Click the Viewer tab, and then click Alarm tab.
