The next two tabs cover signal loss and alarms triggered by external sensors connected
to the recorder. These tabs operate in the same manner as their respective menus on the
recorder with full information covering setup of events and triggers can be found in Sections
4.1 Camera and 4.2 Event in the Users Manual. The Network Alarms tab is for future
software development and is not functional at this point in time.
Motion Events - This is the area where most users will make changes. This menu duplicates
the Events menu which is found in the Settings menu on the recorder. This is
covered in Motion, Video Loss and Camera Masking Detection which is
located in Section 4.1 Camera of the Users Manual.

The three tabs operate in the same manner, allowing you to choose what action the recorder
will take in the event that motion is detected, the video signal is lost or something blocks the
camera. Each tab has a similar set of options available to the user allowing you to have the
recorder send email alerts, take snapshots, start recording on one or more cameras and etc.
Once you have made changes to the settings, click on the Save button. You may also copy
the settings made on one channel to another channel using the Copy button.

General - This submenu and its three tabs
enable you to make changes to the
basic settings on your recorder. You
can change the date and time format,
Daylight Savings Time settings, your
time zone, how your recorder deals
with a full hard drive, and indicate
which dates are holidays so that your
recorder will use the appropriate
schedule on the proper day.
Changing the language on your
recorder remotely will cause you
to lose remote connection as it will
have to reboot for the change to take
place. You will be able to reconnect
normally after a few minutes by
logging in again.
Setting
This menu contains the majority of the configuration options for your system. The submenus
