Alarm notification
When setting up the rules for alarm detection, you can specify how you want the recorder 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.
You can quickly check the system status by looking at the status LEDs on the front panel.
The alarm response methods are:
• Enable Alarm Audio: Triggers an audible beep when a notification or alarm is detected by
the system or a camera.
• Notify Alarm Host: 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 settings”
on page 67 for information on how to configure the recorder to send an email.

Setup > Notifications.
