– Event type: Choose from Local alarm (default) or Net alarm (a Net alarm means the alarm

signal comes from the TCP/IP. You can enable the network alarm function via the net SDK
(Software Development Kit). The network alarm does not have a ‘device type’, ‘anti-

dither’ and ‘alarm upload’ function. The other items are the same).
– Alarm in: Select a specific channel number (or all channels).
– Enable: select to activate the alarm function (default is enable)
– Type (only used for Local alarm): The event behavior can be configured independently for

each channel:

– N.O. - Normally Open causes an alarm to trigger only when the circuit closes (this is

the default)

– N.C. - Normally Closed causes an alarm to trigger only when the circuit is opened
– Period: Click <Setup> for a new interface screen where you can organize time periods for

alarm activation – see Period, page 60.
– Anti-dither: Set here a timer for how long the alarm alert should stay active after it is first

activated (default is 5 seconds). During this time, the system will activate the alarm

display, alarm output, tour, PTZ, snapshot, channel recording and buzzer (if they are all

selected). An alarm upload and email will also be sent (if selected). If a new alarm is

detected within the anti-dither time, the timer will be reset for the alarm display, alarm

output, tour, PTZ, snapshot, channel recording and buzzer (no new alarm upload or email

are sent).

– Alarm out: If an alarm occurs, the system will enable a peripheral alarm device connected

to any of the selected outputs (default is output 1).

– Latch: When the ‘Anti-dither’ time is ended, the alarm output relay you selected in ‘Alarm

out’ will remain activated for this extra ‘latch’ period (from 1 to 300 seconds - default is

10). The latch is still valid even if you manually disable the alarm event.
– Show message: Select to display an alarm message in the local host screen.
– Alarm upload: Select to upload the alarm signal to the network (including a central alarm

point).
– Send email: Select to send an email if an alarm occurs.
– Record channel: Select the appropriate channel(s) to record alarm video. You first need

to do the following:

– Set the alarm record mode as ‘Scheduled’ in the Record interface (Main Menu >

Advanced > Record). Please note the manual record has the highest priority. If you
select Manual mode, the system will record continuously no matter if there is an
alarm or not.

– Now go to the Schedule interface (Main Menu > Setting > Schedule) to set the

record type, corresponding channel number, week and date.

– Select the record type: Regular/MD/Alarm/MD&Alarm. Please note: you cannot

simultaneously select MD&Alarm and MD (or Alarm).

– Now go to the Encode interface to select the alarm record and set the encode

parameter (Main Menu > Setting > Encode).

– Finally, set the alarm input as the local alarm and then select the record channel. The

select channel begins alarm record when an alarm occurred. Please note: the system
begins the alarm record instead of the MD record if the local alarm and MD event
occurred simultaneously.

– PTZ activation: When an alarm occurs, the system can activate the PTZ operation. See

PTZ activation, page 61.
– Delay: Set here an extra timer for channel recording to remain active (from 10 to 300

seconds - default is 10) after the ‘Anti dither’ time has elapsed.
– Tour: Select to enable the tour function (a sequence of camera views) when an alarm

occurs. The system supports only single-window tour for alarms. See Display, page 63

for how to set up the tour interval.
– Snapshot: Enable this function to snapshoot an image from the chosen camera(s) when

an alarm occurs. For snapshot operation, see Encode, page 39.
– Sequence Mon. B: Select both check boxes here to enable a tour function on Monitor B

when there is an alarm signal. The tour sequence will be the same channels as selected

for the Record channel settings (see above).
– Buzzer: Select here to activate the buzzer when an alarm occurs.
After completing setup, click <Save> to save your settings and go back to the previous menu.

For Motion detect mode, you cannot use <Copy> for channel setup since the video in each
channel may be different.

Figure 6.20: Detect

This screen is an example for Motion detect; not all of the detect fields are required for Video
loss and Camera Masking.

See the following descriptions for the full list of detect settings:
– Event types: Here you can choose three different events to detect:

– Motion detect – detect movement in set regions
– Video loss – detect any loss of video
– Camera masking – the system will alert you if someone maliciously masks the lens or

the output video is in one-color due to light change.

– Channel: select the channel to activate the recording function when a detection alarm

occurs. Please make sure you have set MD record in encode interface (Main Menu >

Setting > Schedule) and schedule record in the manual record interface (Main Menu >
Advanced > Record)

– Region: Here you can set motion detection zone. See Motion detect region setup, page

– Sensitivity: Set the threshold for motion detection from 1 to 6 (default). The sixth level

has the highest sensitivity.
– Period: Click Setup for a new interface screen where you can organize time periods for

detect activation – see Period, page 60.
– Anti-dither: Set here a timer for how long the detect alert should stay active after it is first

activated (default is 5 seconds). During this time, the system will activate the alarm

display, alarm output, tour, PTZ, snapshot, channel recording and buzzer (if they are all

selected). An alarm upload and email will also be sent (if selected). If a new alarm is

detected within the anti-dither time, the timer will be reset for the alarm display, alarm

output, tour, PTZ, snapshot, channel recording and buzzer (no new alarm upload or email

are sent).
– Alarm out: If an alarm occurred, the system will enable a peripheral alarm device

connected to the selected outputs (default is 1).
– Latch: When the ‘Anti-dither’ time is ended, the alarm output relay you selected in ‘Alarm

out’ will remain activated for this extra ‘latch’ period (from 1 to 300 seconds - default is

10). The latch is still valid even if you manually disable the alarm event.
– Show message: The system will pop up a message in the local host screen to alert you.
– Alarm upload: The system will upload an alarm signal to the network (including a central

alarm location).
– Send email: An alert email is sent if an alarm is detected.
– PTZ activation: Here you can set PTZ movement when an alarm occurs. See PTZ activation,

page 61.
– Delay: Set here an extra timer for channel recording to remain active (from 10 to 300

seconds - default is 10) after the ‘Anti dither’ time has elapsed.
– Tour: Here you can enable a tour function (a sequence of camera views) when an alarm

occurs. The system supports only one-window tour for alarms. See Display, page 63 for

how to pre-select the tour sequence and interval.
– Snapshot: Select to snapshoot an image from the chosen camera(s) when an alarm

occurs. For snapshot operation, see Encode, page 39.
– Sequence Mon. B: Select both check boxes here to enable a tour function on Monitor B

when there is an alarm signal. The tour sequence will be the same channels as selected

for the Record channel settings (see above).
– Buzzer: Select here to activate the buzzer when an alarm occurs.
After completing setup, click <Save> to save your settings and go back to the previous menu.
Note: In the Detect menu, the Copy function is only valid for the same event type, which
means you cannot copy a channel setup in video loss mode to camera masking mode.

Motion detect region setup

Figure 6.21: Motion detect region

See here that there are a collection of small rectangular zones on the screen (396 zones for
PAL; 330 zones for NTSC). The normal default when you open this screen for each camera
channel is that the complete screen is colored and ‘armed’ (activated for motion detection). A
black (or dark) area signals a disarmed zone.
To set up motion detect on this screen:

1. Left-click the mouse and drag it over a region where you want to disable (disarm) motion
detection. Notice that the selected zones become dark.

2. Release the mouse button when you have selected a complete area to be disabled for
motion detection.

3. Now repeat this action for other areas on the screen to be disabled. If you want to ‘rearm’
a disabled area again, or you make a mistake, simply select the region again with the left­mouse button (the region will be colored again). Another way to arm/disarm zones is to
use the Fn button on the front panel, or on the remote control, and select zones with the
direction buttons.

4. After setting all the motion detection zones for a channel, return to the ‘Detect’ screen by
right-clicking the mouse (or click the ‘Enter’ button). If you click the ESC button to exit
the region setup screen, the zone setup will not be saved.

Note: Always remember to click <Save> on the ‘Detect’ interface to save the current setup.
