Alert and Recording Settings

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.

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.

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.
