The lower portion of the Motion Events lets you control how the NVR will react when it detects motion.
Trigger Period-Justasyou’veconguredtheNVR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 NVR 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 NVR 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 NVR can upload an alert message to a computer 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 (again, 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 NVR 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 NVR’s internal buzzer will sound for the same duration as the external alarms.

them to another channel, if desired. This does
not include the Motion Detection area settings
from the top of the window.
•ClickApply to test your settings.
•ClickSave before exiting this window to
preserve your changes.
Tampering
These options are identical to those for Motion
Events but are triggered when the NVR
determines that someone has covered the camera
to avoid detection.
Video Loss
If the NVR 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.
ALARM
This window handles inputs from external alarms and sensors in the same way that the Detections
window handles camera inputs. Even if your NVR does not have alarm inputs, some IP cameras have
their own alarm connections and you can send an alarm to your system while remotely monitoring it.
IPC External Alarm
This tab handles inputs from alarms connected to IP cameras.
Channel - Select the channel of the camera with the attached alarm.
Enable - This box must be checked in order for the NVR to receive input from the alarm.
Type - Alarms are either set to be “Normal Open” or “Normal Close” choose the correct setting.

IPC Offline Alarm
This will alert you if your NVR loses connection to
a camera.
