SETUP
This window allows you to make changes to the setting on both the DVR and the computer
you’re using to monitor it.
ALARM
Clicking the Alarm tab at the top of the screen will shift the display to the Alarm window
where you can have the Web Service provide on-screen notifications of alarm events.
These settings do not affect the alarm notifications made on the system itself. Instead these
are notifications made by the application. In this manner, the Web Service acts as a back up
notification system. For example, if the network connection at the DVR’s system is lost, and
Video Loss has been selected, the Web Service application will alert you that it is no longer
receiving video. This way, you will still receive an alert even if the DVR is not able to send out
an e-mail notification.
The list of alarm events will populate as they occur. The list serves as a reference to the user
for a more precise video search.
Alarm Type
The alarm types include the same events that will trigger an alarm on your DVR.

Prompt
When this is selected, an animated alert icon
will appear in the Alarm tab. This will appear
when the user is viewing other tabs.
Alarm Sound
You may choose an audible alert using a .WAV sound file stored on your computer.

Depending on whether your system is a DVR or NVR, there will be four or five collapsible
menus on the left side of the screen. Remote is for use with NVRs only, while Network, Event,
Storage and Setting are common to both technologies.
Remote (NVRs Only)
Add Device - This submenu performs the same functions as the Remote Device window
in your DVR. You can connect remote cameras to your NVR, modify their settings or
disconnect them. The full operations are covered in Section 4.5 Remote Device in
the Users Manual.
Camera - This submenu is the same as the Camera Settings window on the NVR. You can
adjust the camera’s levels, day/night mode and enable flip or mirror options. Further
details may be found in Section 3.4 Recording in the Users Manual.
