HDD installed or HDD had failed to initialize.

Description of system alarm notification types
When setting up the alarm rules for system-wide events, you can specify how
you want the DVR to notify you about an alarm. You can select more than one
notification type.
The notification types that you can select include:
• Full Screen: When an alarm is triggered, the local spot monitor (VGA or BNC
monitor) displays an image in live mode. This alarm can be configured under
the Popup Alarm Image rules method. 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 in the
Display screen. When the alarm stops, cycling of the images stops and you
return to live mode.
• Buzzer: Triggers an audible beep when a notification or alarm is detected.
• TCP/IP: Sends a signal to TruVision Navigator or other software applications
when an alarm or notification is detected.
