Using IP Surveillance Software
If you have checked the box “Enable Motion Detect” or “Enable Digital Input” on the
Camera Configurations > Alert Settings screen, the alert message will show in the
window shown above. Once the alert, caused by motion detection or a digital input
level change is triggered, the alert message will be shown in this window. If there are
more events than this window can display, a scroll bar will appear.
The message format is described as follows:
“time”=>”alert type” #”channel number”(“win1”,”win2",”win3")
For example, the message “PM 02:41:00=>MO #1(0,1,1)” means that this is a motion
detection alert occurring at 02:41:00 PM in Motion Window 2 and Motion Window 3, for
camera #1. If the message “PM 02:41:56=>DI #1” is listed, that means there is an alert
triggered by the DI, for camera #1, at 02:41:56 PM .
