Types of system alarm notifications
The different types of system alarm notifications are:
• HDD Full: All installed HDDs are full and will not record any more video.
• HDD Error: Errors occurred while files were being written to the HDD, there is no
HDD installed, or the HDD had failed to initialize.
• Network Disconnected: Disconnected network cable.
• Duplicate IP Address Found: There is an IP address conflict with another system
on the network.
• Illegal Login: Wrong user ID or password used.
• Input/output Video Standard Mismatch: I/O video standards do not match.
• Abnormal Record: HDD cannot record any more files. This could be due to the
overwrite option being disabled so recorded files are locked and cannot be deleted.
