Setting up system notifications
Setting up system notifications instructs the recorder to alert you when irregular
events occur and how to alert you to the event.
You can quickly check the system status by looking at the status LEDs on the
front panel. When there is an irregular event with the system, an icon appears on
screen to also alert you. See “Status information” on page 65 for further
information.
The types of system notifications include:
• HDD Full: An installed HDD is full (overwrite option is disabled).
• HDD Error: Errors occurred while files were being written to the HDD, no
HDD installed or HDD had failed to initialize.
• Network Disconnected: Disconnected network cable.
• IP Conflicted: Conflict in IP address setting.
• Illegal Login: Wrong user ID or password used.
• Input/output Video Standards Mismatch: I/O video standards do not
match.
