DETEXI NVR 96 - 169
• Call a user-defined phone or pager and play alarm-specific or a user-defined WAV file or text-to-
speech message. Has the ability to attempt multiple times on failure.
• Go to a PTZ preset: this feature may be available with PTZ or dome cameras and enables the
camera to point to a specified position, such as a window, when an event takes place.
• Activate an audio alert — plays alarm-specific or a user-defined WAV file or text-to-speech
message over the NVR Server soundcard.
• Enable on-screen pop-up in the DETEXI Client, showing alive video from a camera where an
event has been activated.
• Show procedures that the operator should follow — send a user-defined message to be displayed
on the operator’s computer.
9 In addition, pre-alarm (for soft motion detection) and post-alarm (for I/O
alarms or motion detection) image buffers can be set in the DETEXI NVR, enabling
a network video product to send a set length and frame rate of video captured
before and after an event is triggered. This can be beneficial in helping provide a
more complete picture of an event.
