Tips:

Alarm armed

- Use motion detection recording instead of using scheduled recording in order to use the

recorder storage space efficiently.

- Think of using the motion detection in a low activity area and let the DSR (Digital Surveillance

Recorder) monitor the area for you.

- If you use motion detection you will be able to find useful footage more easily through the

search engine.

- Set up the motion detection correctly to prevent too many false alarms from occurring.

- Think of using the alarm scheduler to arm the motion detection so that it can start e.g. after

office hours.

7) Alarm Status Indication

- The status indicators in the "Display" control

buttons are for motion detection status indication.

- The indicator will light up if the motion detection

is enabled.

- There are three possible alarm settings: no

alarm, alarm set but out of scheduled time and alarm armed.

(red)

- Grey indicator colour: no alarm is set.

- Red indicator colour: motion detection is armed,

the alarm recording can be triggered at any time.

- Blue indicator colour: motion detection is set but the alarm recording can only be triggered during the

scheduled time period.
