Modifying the warning buzzer
When an alarm is triggered by the system or a camera, the recorder can be set
up to respond with a warning buzzer. You can modify the time during which the
warning buzzer sounds for both system and camera alarm. Select Alarm >
Advanced Settings and select a buzzer time limit for the system and camera
alarms. Default is mute.
Setting up motion detection
Motion detection is one of the most important features of a recorder. With it there
is no need to manually search through hours of video recordings to find an event.
The recorder can be set up to trigger an alarm if it detects motion and to record it.
You can then search these recorded motion activities for specific incidents. If
enabled, motion detection recording can help increase the number of days your
recorder can record.
You can mask out any areas of motion on an analog camera display that you do
not want to trigger a recording such as a flag on a pole or a moving tree.
Select the level of sensitivity to motion as well the target size so that only objects
that could be of interest can trigger a motion recording. For example, recording is
triggered by the movement of a person but not that of a cat.
You can set up both the schedule and areas sensitive to motion detection for
each camera individually or easily copy the settings of one camera to other
cameras.
