Figure 51 — Video Blind Settings screen.

The DVR checks to see if anything is blinding a camera.

Highlighting the box under the Sensitivity heading allows you to adjust the DVR’s
sensitivity to video blind for Black and White independently from 0 (Never) and 1
(least sensitive) to 15 (most sensitive).

NOTE: Video blind might NOT be detected for a camera with a very noisy image

especially when set for low sensitivity values.

Highlighting the box under the Activation Time heading allows you to set the duration before the DVR will report a
Video Blind. The DVR will not consider any blinded camera to be a Video Blind if the detected blindness is less than
the Activation Time set on this screen.

Highlight Use Ignoring Time and press the

button to toggle between On and Off. When set to On, the DVR will

ignore video blind events occurred during the preset period. Highlighting Time Setup and press the button allows
you to set up event ignoring time.

Highlight the Actions 1 and Actions 2 tabs and the Video Blind Actions 1 and Actions 2 screens display.

Figure 52 — Video Blind Actions 1 screen.

The DVR can be set to react to video blind differently for each
camera. Each camera can be associated with another camera,
trigger an Alarm-Out connector, sound the DVR’s internal
buzzer, notify a number of different devices, move PTZ
cameras to preset positions, and/or display a camera on a
SPOT monitor.

Highlight the box under the Record heading and press the

button. A list of cameras appears. You can associate as many
cameras with that camera as you wish. If the DVR detects
video blind on the selected camera, it starts recording video
from all the associated cameras.

NOTE: For the Record action, the camera you select should be set to the Event or Time & Event recording mode

in the Record Schedule setup screen.

Highlight the box under the Alarm-Out heading and press the

button. A list of Alarm Outputs appears. You can

associate as many Alarm-Outs with that camera as you wish. When the DVR detects video blind on the selected camera,
it will trigger output signals on all the associated Alarm-Out connectors. You can also have the DVR’s internal buzzer
sound if video is blinded on the selected camera.

NOTE: For the Alarm-Out action, the alarm output and beep you select should be set to the Event mode in the

Alarm-Out setup screen (Schedule tab).

Highlight the box under the Notify heading and press the

button. You can toggle the entire list On and Off by

highlighting Notification and pressing the button. You can toggle the individual items On and Off by highlighting

that item and pressing the button. Highlight OK and press the button to accept your changes.
