Alarm notification types
When setting up the rules for alarm detection, you can specify how you want the recorder to
notify you about an alarm or event. You can select more than one notification type.
Not all notifications types are available for all types of alarms.
You can quickly check the system status by looking at the status LEDs on the front panel.
The alarm notification types are:
• Full-screen Monitoring: When an alarm is triggered, the monitor (VGA or HDMI) displays
an image in live view mode. For alarms that are triggered simultaneously, images display
one at a time every 10 seconds (default dwell time). You can set a different dwell time using
the Sequence Dwell Time setting under the Display Settings>Display window. When the
alarm stops, cycling of the images stops and you return to live view mode. This alarm option
must be selected for each channel where it is required.
• Enable Alarm Audio: Triggers an audible beep when a notification or alarm is detected by
the system or a camera.
• Notify Alarm Host: Sends a signal to TruVision Navigator or other software applications
when an alarm or notification is detected.
• Send Email: Sends an email when an alarm or notification is detected. See “E-mail
settings” on page 81 for information on how to configure the recorder to send an email.
• Upload Snapshots to FTP: Capture the image when an alarm is triggered and upload the
picture to NAS or FTP server.
• Trigger Alarm Output: Triggers an alarm output or multiple alarm outputs when a
notification is detected for an external alarm. See “Types of system alarm notifications” on
page 94 for information on configuring an alarm output.
• Display Event Icon: When an alarm is triggered in the system, an icon appears on screen
to also alert you. See “Status information” on page 27 for further information.
• Event Priority: Define the priority between a text insertion event and a motion alarm if both
are triggered at the same time. Default is a motion alarm (Text In < Motion).
To set up system notifications:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Alarm & Event Setup > Notification.
2. Select a system alarm notification type (see “Types of system alarm notifications” on page
94).
3. Check one or more response method: Display event icon, event priority, enable alarm
audio, notify alarm host, send email, and trigger alarm output.
Note: The list of options available depends on the system alarm selected.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for other system notification types.
5. Click Apply to save the settings.
6. Click Exit to return to live view.
