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 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, which is described in
the Alarms section.
To set the Alarm Severity Threshold value
1. Click the Preferences option in the User menu, . The Preferences dialog box
appears. By default, the General Settings tab is selected.
