Video recording - When an event is triggered, the selected camera will record a video footage of the length defined by the pre-/post-event setting, to the NVR system.

Send email – When an event is triggered, it sends an Email to the administrator along with a snapshot of the event.

Figure 6-22 Email Setup

To configure Email notification, enter valid Email addresses as the Sender and Recipient addresses, an Email subject, and the SMTP server address through which the Email will be delivered. If you need to log in to SMTP server to deliver an Email, enter the User name and password for access to that account.

Note	The Email subject and addresses can be composed of 254 characters in numeric or alphabetic characters including: [0-9] [a-z] [A-Z] [_][ ][-][.][.][@]. You can enter the addresses of multiple recipients. Use semicolons, (;), to separate the addresses of multiple recipients.

Buzzer - The buzzer is sounded on the occurrence of the event. The buzzer tones are categorized into: Critical (1 long, 1 sec interval) Major (1 long 2 shorts, 1 sec interval), Normal (3 shorts, 2 sec interval), Minor (2 shorts, 2 sec interval), and Notify (2 very shorts) depending on the importance of an event. Select a Buzzer modulation from the drop-down list.

A long tone has a duration of 1 second, while a short tone 0.5 second. A very short tone lasts only for 0.1 second.

Select how many times the buzzer tones will be repeated on the occurrence of an event.

Figure 6-23 Buzzer Options

If events of different importance are issued at the same time, e.g., one major and one minor event, system will ignore the minor event and sound the buzzer tone for the major

event only. The buzzer can be sounded either by the Alarm actions or the system events. If Alarm actions and system service events occur at the time, Alarm actions have the higher priority.

If multiple Alarm actions occur, the currently-sounded events can be depleted by the new event.

There are conditions that the system will sound the buzzer, and the conditions are not configurable.

• Disk failure - missing drives or SMART detected failures.
• Disk full – the free space is too small for recording tasks.

FTP-Snapshots from specified cameras can be uploaded to an FTP site on the occurrence of an event. Enter the FTP site address in the dotted-decimal notation, e.g., 159.22.151.20. Enter the login name and password for the user account. You can enter a directory name you prefer on the FTP site. The server port default is 21, a different number between 1025 and 65535 can also be assigned.

The snapshot thus delivered has a size of 320x240 pixels. If authentication is not applied, login will proceed using the [anonymous] account. The file names of the snapshot jpeg. files will look like this: [MAC]_[DATE]_[TIME]_[CAMERA_INDEX].jpg - If similar files already exist, an additional index number will be added to the end of file name.

• The other is accessed through the Ethernet connection. Management via a web console will be described in this chapter of this manual.

Note

When accessed over the network, the total streaming throughput is 128Mbps.

Before Getting Started

• Before operating the NVR, make sure you have properly installed hard drives and configured the storage volumes. Otherwise, you will not be able to operate some of the system's functionality.
• When you log in to the Liveview or Playback interface to stream a live or recorded video, install the ActiveX plug-ins. If it does not prompt when you log in, install plug-ins when you try to playback a recorded video. You may then need to re-start the IE browser console.

Note

• Chrome doesn't require plug-ins.
  • Chrome only supports streaming with H.264.

Login

1. Enter the IP address of NVR in the address field of a web browser and click search, the following screen is displayed:

PTZ Panel

Figure 7-9 PTZ Panel

The PTZ panel takes effect for cameras that come with mechanical PTZ functions. It does not support digital PTZ functions. To utilize its functions, select a view cell populated by a PTZ camera, such as a speed dome.

Depending on the individual functions that come with PTZ cameras, some functions will not be available for every camera. For example, the zoom controller will not apply for a PTZ camera that comes without a mechanized zoom module

Event Panel

The event panel keeps up to 200 events and displays the latest 10 event entries with the latest alarm on top of the list. Older events will be erased if the number exceeds 200.

It is polled every 10 seconds. A mouse hover on an alarm entry displays full information of the event.

Note that multiple alarms can be triggered by one incident. See Setting-Event-Event on page 41 for how to configure the event settings.

If an event is configured with a recording action, there will be a play button ▶ to the left of the alarm message.

Figure 7-10 Event Panel 2

Click ▶ and the event playback window will begin playback of a footage taken 10 seconds before the occurrence of an alarm. The playback of an alarm-triggered recording will normally last for one minute. If, however, you configured a shorter pre- and post-alarm recording time, your alarm recording may be slightly shorter. The default for pre- and post-alarm buffer time are 5 seconds and 20 seconds.
