D-Link DCS-±1±0 User Manual
Section ² - Configuration
Alert Settings
Specific alert actions can be performed by setting the options in this window.
This will trigger an alert sound that has been specified in the section titled “Display & UI Settings\Local
Alert Settings”. Check this option to enable audio alerts for the selected camera.
This function is similar to “Enable Motion Detect” mentioned above. Once this option has been checked,
a digital input device will be able to trigger an alert sound and recording.
Note:
The digital input/output is not available for the DCS-2120 model.
This application software provides options for you to define the triggering criteria for the digital input of
the camera. The alert of the digital input can be defined as high-level triggered or low-level triggered.
Note:
The digital input/output is not available for the DCS-2120 model.

Recording Settings
Once the automatic video recording has been activated, you can change this setting to regulate the
recording of triggered events. Recording will start from the specified number of seconds before the alert
event has been invoked.
Recording will last for the specified number of seconds after the alert event has been invoked.
You can specify which media type you want to record: Video, Audio, or both.
Changing the Camera Order in the List
You can “drag and drop” in the grid area of the camera list to change the sequence of the connected Network Cameras,
which is shown below. This will allow you to rearrange the cameras in an order of your choice. Once the camera is
moved to a specified location, the proceeding cameras will then move 1 position up or 1 position down depending on
which direction the selected camera was moved.

Section ² - Configuration
Global Settings
After completing the connection to each remote Network Camera, we need to configure the global settings for all the
cameras. These include the video database directory, the usage of the Hard disk, and options for video display.
You can activate the global settings window from
Configuration Menu > Global Settings...
shown above.
All recording processes will be stopped when activating the global settings window, indicated by a warning window
popped up in advance to keep you informed.

The directory for storing snapshots in *.bmp format from video channels of the monitor tool and playback
programs.
The directory for storing the recorded video data from video channels.
The directory for storing the default and user-customized schedules for the scheduled recording of each
channel.
Directory Settings
When you turn this setting on, the video database system of this application will overwrite the oldest
data if the specified path has become full. That means it will record video data in a loop. If this setting
is unchecked, all recording will stop when the limit of the hard disk usage is reached.
Indicate the size of the hard disk that will be reserved for other Windows
®
applications (at least 300MB).
The remainder of the hard disk space will be available for recording. The more space you have reserved,
the less there will be available for your camera(s) to record to. As you move the bar to the right, more
space will be available for your camera(s) and conversely, less space will be available for your other
applications. If the recording data exceeds this limitation, the new video data will replace the oldest data
(on a First In First Out (FIFO) basis) when “Cycle Recording” has been checked.
