Added HDCVI vs Serial plus additional picture.
The lower portion of the Motion Events window lets you control how the DVR will react when it detects
motion.
Trigger Period - Just as you’ve configured the DVR to record on a schedule, you can set the alert
notifications to occur only at certain times.
EXAMPLE: Turning off motion alerts during business hours when employees are in the building.
Hold Time - This is the time, in seconds, that the DVR will wait after detecting motion before saving the
file. If it detects motion during that time, it will treat it as part of the same event. The maximum delay is
10 minutes.
Alarm Out - If your DVR is equipped with an alarm block, you can have it trigger up to three audible
alarms.
Alarm Continue - The alarms can be set to continue to sound for up to 5 minutes.
Show Message - An on-screen message can be displayed
Alarm Upload - Your DVR can upload an alert message to a computer that is monitoring your system
using the Web Service or the Smart PSS software. See Section 3.2 and 3.3 of the Remote
Monitoring Guide.
Send Email - When enabled, an alert email will be sent to the address you’ve entered in the Network
Setting window (See Section 4.3)
Record Channel - You can also have other cameras start recording when one detects motion.
PTZ Activation - An attached PTZ camera can be directed to a Preset Point (see Section 2.7).
Recording Continue - The camera - and cameras that were triggered - will continue to record for up to
five minutes afterwards.
Tour - This is not the PTZ tour. When enabled, this will cause the DVR to cycle through the full-screen
views from the selected cameras.
Snapshot - In addition to recording video, other cameras can be set to take snapshots (set up in
Section 4.1).
Buzzer - The DVR’s internal buzzer will sound for the same duration as the external alarms.

Tampering
These options are identical to those for Motion
Events but are triggered when the DVR
determines that someone has covered the camera
to avoid detection.
Video Loss
If the DVR loses contact with the camera through
power loss, cut cable or anything else that
interrupts the signal, it will trigger the actions you
select. These are the same options as available in
Motion Events.
