The configuration steps of the above mentioned alarm linkages are as follows. Duration: it refers to the interval time between the adjacent motion detections. For instance, if the duration time is set to 10 seconds, once the system detects a motion, it will go to alarm and would not detect any other motion (specific to camera) in 10 seconds. If there is another motion detected during this period, it will be considered as a continuous movement; otherwise it will be considered as a single motion. Record: check it and then the “Trigger Record” window will pop up automatically (you can also click the “Configure” button to pop up the window). Select camera on the left side and then click 📋 to set the camera as the trigger camera. Select trigger camera on the right side and then click << to cancel the trigger camera. Click the “OK” button to save the settings. The trigger cameras will record automatically when the sensor alarm is triggered.

The trigger cameras will snap automatically when the sensor alarm is triggered. Push: check it and choose ON or OFF. If it is ON, the system will send messages when the sensor alarm is triggered. Alarm-out: check it and then the “Trigger Alarm-out” window will pop up automatically. Configure the trigger alarm-out in the window. The system will trigger the alarm-out automatically when the sensor alarm is triggered. You need to set the delay time and the schedule of the alarm outputs. See 9.5.1 Alarm-out for details. Preset: check it and then the “Trigger Preset” window will pop up automatically. Configure the trigger preset of each camera. To add presets, please see 6.2 Preset Setting for details. Buzzer: if enabled, the system will begin to buzz when the sensor alarm is triggered. To set the delay time of the buzzer, please see 9.5.4 Buzzer for details. Pop-up Video: After camera setting, the system will pop up the corresponding video automatically when the sensor alarm is triggered. To set the duration time of the video, please see 9.5.3 Display for details. Pop-up Message Box: if enabled, the system will pop up the corresponding alarm message box automatically when the sensor alarm is triggered. To set the duration time of the message box, please see 9.5.3 Display for details. E-mail: if enabled, the system will send an e-mail when the sensor alarm is triggered.

If the DVR has two network ports or above, you can select the network work pattern as required. Network Fault Tolerance and Multiple Address Setting are available.

Network Fault Tolerance:

The two network ports will be bound to one IP address if you select the “Network Fault Tolerance” pattern. There are many advantages of this work pattern: 1. increase the bandwidth; 2. form a network redundant array to share the load. When a failure happens to one network port, the other port will take over the entire load immediately. The takeover process is seamless and the network service will not be broken off. Refer to the figure as shown below. If “Network Fault Tolerance” is selected, check “Obtain an IPv4 address automatically”, “Obtain an IPv6 address automatically” and “Obtain DNS automatically” to get the network addresses automatically, or manually enter the network addresses; select one Ethernet port as the primary card and then click “Apply” to save the settings.

Appendix B Calculate Recording Capacity

The recording capacity is mainly up to the record resolution, record stream and bitrate. Different image quality parameters decide different disk capacity occupation in equal times. The bigger the record resolution, record stream and record bitrate is, the more disk capacity is taken up in equal times. The calculation format of recording capacity is shown as below.

Recording Capacity(MB) = Bitrate(Kbps) ÷ 1024 ÷ 8 × 3600 × Recording hours per day × Record Storage Days × channel numbers

3600 means record for an hour(1TB=1024GB, 1GB=1024MB, 1MB=1024KB, 1Byte=8bit).

Record Bitrate (Kbps)	Used Space (MB/H)	Used Space (MB/D)
10240	4500	108000
8192	3600	86400
6144	2700	64800
4096	1800	43200
3072	1350	32400
2048	900	21600
1024	450	10800
768	337.5	8100
512	225	5400
384	168.75	4050
256	112.5	2700

The table below shows the recording capacity requirements for record storage in 30 days.

Record Bitrate (Kbps)	Recording Capacity(TB)
	1CH	4CH	8CH	16CH	32CH	64CH
10240	3.09	12.36	24.72	49.44	98.88	197.76
8192	2.48	9.89	19.78	39.56	79.11	158.21
6144	1.86	7.42	14.84	29.67	59.33	118.66
4096	1.24	4.95	9.89	19.78	39.56	79.11
3072	0.93	3.71	7.42	14.84	29.67	59.33
2048	0.62	2.48	4.95	9.89	19.78	39.56
1024	0.31	1.24	2.48	4.95	9.89	19.78
768	0.24	0.93	1.86	3.71	7.42	14.84
512	0.16	0.62	1.24	2.48	4.95	9.89
384	0.12	0.47	0.93	1.86	3.71	7.42
256	0.08	0.31	0.62	1.24	2.48	4.95

For instance, there is a 32CH DVR recording 24 hours per day and the record stores for 30 days. The DVR adopts dual stream recording. The main stream is 4096Kbps and the sub stream is 1024Kbps, then the total recording capacity is 49.45TB (39.56TB + 9.89TB). Considering the format loss of the disk is about 10%, the required disk capacity will be 55TB (49.45TB ÷ (1-10%)).
