About
This topic describes how alarms work and how to congure them. Triggered alarms create searchable ags
in the recorded video, making it easy to locate alarm events and associated metadata later (for details, see
the  on the Safe Fleet Community. You can also tell the system to switch to higher recording
quality settings when an alarm is triggered - for example, to help identify people or license plates when
reviewing video of the event. If the system is wirelessly enabled with Commander, agged video can be
automatically downloaded to your network (for more information, see the  on the Safe
Fleet Community.
Before you begin...
Power up the DVR with a monitor and USB mouse connected, then right-click in Live view and select
Conguration. For more information, see "Accessing the On-screen Display" on page 25.
To congure Alarms:
1. Select Alarm/Signal  Alarms to open the tab.
2. Congure alarm settings as required. For details,
see , below.
3. Click Back to save settings, then click Back
again to return to the Conguration menu.
TIP: Higher recording quality settings for Alarm events 
Select higher speed (FPS), Quality, and Resolution in Alarm Settings to increase video quality for a short
duration to record an alarm event.
Higher quality video involves greater storage requirements, which reduces the amount of video you can
store before it is overwritten. Therefore, a DVR usually records in a mode that conserves storage space.

Alarm Settings
The DVR supports 4 independent alarms. An operator can trigger Alarm 1 using the optional Event/Diagnostic
button installed in the vehicle (for more information, see "Tagging Video for Review" on page 24). Alarm 2
can be activated by an operator button or covert trigger connected to the ALARM 2 port on the DVR rear panel.
You can also set Alarms 1-4 to trigger automatically based on vehicle speed (ssee page 64), a G Sensor
threshold (see page 61), GPS fence (see page 65), or a Signal activation (see page 47).
FPS, Quality, and Resolution elds are blank/unavailable in Alarm Settings screens for unsupported
cameras or RTSP streams, including those from a companion DVR.
NOTE: Higher quality settings for supported cameras only 
