Alarm settings
This chapter describes setting up how the system will respond when an alarm is
triggered.
Description of alarm notification types
When setting up the rules for alarm detection, you can specify how you want the NVR
to notify you about an alarm or event. You can select more than one notification type.
Not all notifications types are available for all types of alarms.
The alarm notification types are:
• Full Screen Monitoring: When an alarm is triggered, the monitor (VGA or HDMI)
displays an image in live view mode. For alarms that are triggered simultaneously,
images display one at a time every 10 seconds (default dwell time). You can set a
different dwell time using the Dwell Time setting under the Display Settings>Layout
window. When the alarm stops, cycling of the images stops and you return to live
view mode. This alarm option must be selected for each channel where it is
required.
• Audible Warning: Triggers an audible beep when a notification or alarm is detected
by the system or a camera.
• Notify Alarm Recipient: Sends a signal to TruVision Navigator or other software
applications when an alarm or notification is detected.
• Send Email: Sends an email when an alarm or notification is detected. See “Email”
on page 49 for information on how to configure the NVR to send an email.
• Trigger Alarm Output: Triggers an alarm output when a notification is detected for
an external alarm. See “Setting up external alarms” on page 39 for information on
configuring an alarm output.
