You can adjust the minimum number of detection
blocks that must be activated to trigger a motion alarm.
Highlighting the box under the “Min. Blocks” heading and
pressing the button allows you to adjust the minimum
number of detection blocks for “Daytime” and “Nighttime”
independently. Smaller numbers provide greater sensitivity
because fewer detection blocks must be activated.
Highlight the box under the “Actions” and press the button. The recorder can be set to react to motion
differently for each camera. Each camera can be associated with another camera, trigger an Alarm-Out
connector, sound the recorder’s internal buzzer, notify a number of different devices, move PTZ cameras to
preset positions, and/or display a camera on a SPOT monitor.
You can control excessive event logging and remote notification of motions detected after the motion dwell
time by adjusting the motion ignoring dwell intervals. Highlight the box beside “Motion Ignoring Interval” and
press the button. A list of intervals ranging from “1” to “10” seconds or “Never” appears. The recorder will
not log and notify motion events occurred during the preset interval range.
Note: The record action for motion events will not be affected by the Motion Ignoring function.
Highlighting “Daytime Setup” and pressing the button allows you to set up the Daytime range.
Highlight the box beside “Daytime” and press the button. Use
the Up and Down arrow buttons to set the Daytime range. The
recorder will consider the remaining time range as the Nighttime.

The alarm terminal strip on the back of the recorder has inputs associated with each alarm. You can set up
each input on the “Alarm-In” screen. You can turn each input On or Off by highlighting the alarm number and
pressing the button.
Each input can be given a title. Highlight the desired “Title” box and press the button. A virtual keyboard
appears allowing you to enter a title name.
Each input can be set as “NO” (normally open) or “NC” (normally closed).
Highlight the box under the “Actions” and press the button. You can set the actions the recorder will
take whenever it senses an input on one of its alarm input connectors. Alarm input can be associated with
cameras, trigger an Alarm-Out connector, sound the recorder’s internal buzzer, notify a number of different
devices, move PTZ cameras to preset positions, and/or display a camera on a SPOT monitor.
