Alarm: Video Loss
Alarm: Video Loss
Video Loss is regarded as a potential
alarm event, and is considered to occur
any time that the DVR doesn’t receive an
active video signal on any of its inputs.
The default behaviour of the DVR, when a
channel has no incoming video signal, is
simply to display “Video Loss” in white text
on a black background over the associated
channel. If you’re not using all the inputs
on your DVR, then some channels will be
in “permanent” Video Loss state. Just be
sure that you don’t Enable a video loss
action for these channels.
Channel: Which channel/camera you’d
like to set the Video Loss behaviour for.
Enable: Whether the selected channel
has video loss monitoring active or not.
Action: The action you’d like the DVR to
take when this event occurs. It’s set in
the same way as the Action for any other
event.
Alarm: Video Loss - Action
Audio Warning: The DVR will use its
internal buzzer to emit an alarm tone. It
sounds like an old computer indicating an
error, or a large truck backing up.
Send Email: The DVR will send an auto-
email alert when the event type you’ve
selected occurs. The Email Settings
button will take you to the same email
conguration screen accessible from the
Network menu - see “Network: Advanced:
Email Settings” on page 23 for details.
Schedule: You can change how the
DVR Actions events at dierent times.
For example, a motion event occurring
during business hours might be perfectly
normal, whereas one occurring at four in
the morning might indicate something
much more severe is happening.
You can set the schedule for each “Action”
in the same way as you set the recording
schedule proper. Multiple Action events
can be tied to the same exception, or vice-
versa using clever scheduling.
