Events

1. Sensor/Relay Operation – Indicates if sensors and relays operation are enabled or disabled. If there are none attached to the DVR Server, make sure that this is set to disabled. To be able to map sensors to relays or cameras and cameras to relays, this option has to be enabled.
2. Relay Reset Time – Indicates the time in seconds it takes for relays to reset back to normal mode if the reset mode is time-based.
3. Restore Defaults – Restores the default settings.
4. Apply – Saves the settings.

- To map the sensors to cameras, simply select Cameras in the Sensor Mapping option. Click on the grid to place an "O" to mark the sensor-camera mapping. Once a sensor has been mapped to a camera, this means that when that particular sensor is triggered, such as when a smoke detector detects smoke, the camera which is mapped to that sensor will start to record. NOTE: You can map one sensor to more than one camera and vice versa. When applied, this means that when a smoke detector or an infrared proximity sensor are triggered, the camera that is mapped to these sensors will start to record.
- To map the sensors to relays, simply select Relays in the Sensor Mapping option. Click on the grid to place a mapping. Depending on what reset mode is selected in the drop down list menu, the appropriate mark will appear on the grid. A "T" for time-based reset mode, an "S" for sensor synchronized reset mode or an "X" for manual reset mode. Once a sensor has been mapped to a relay, this means that when that particular sensor is triggered, such as when a smoke sensor detects smoke, the relay which is mapped to that sensor will either open or close. NOTE: You can map one sensor to more than one relay and vice versa. When applied, this means that when a smoke detector or an infrared proximity sensor are triggered, the relay that is mapped to these sensors will open or close, i.e. light will turn on.
- To apply settings, click on the Apply button.

1. Sensor Mapping – Indicates what sensor mapping is currently displayed; mapping to cameras or relays. The active mapping is also indicated above the mapping area.
2. Reset Mode – Indicates the reset mode for sensor-relay mappings. This is disabled when the sensor mapping is set to cameras. The reset mode options are Time, Sensor Synchronized and Manual. Time-based reset mode follows the relay reset time set in the General Event Settings. Sensor synchronized reset mode follows the status of the sensor - if the sensor turns off, then so does the relay. Manual reset mode means the relay will not reset back to normal unless manually reset.
3. Normal State – Indicates what the normal state of the sensor is set to. If the sensor is normally set to ON, then click on the normal state to set it on.
4. Map Pan/Tilt/Zoom – Indicates if the sensor will be mapped to a PTZ action when it is triggered. If this is unchecked, then the PTZ On, PTZ Off and Dwell Time options are also disabled.
5. PTZ On – Displays a drop down list menu of available PTZ presets and group runs that can be called when the sensor is triggered.
6. PTZ Off – Displays a drop down list menu of available PTZ presets and group runs that can be called when the Dwell Time length has been reached.
7. Dwell Time – Indicates the length in seconds on how long the PTZ will remain in the PTZ On position before going to the PTZ Off position.
8. Mapping – Indicates the mapping that have been set. For sensor-camera mappings, an "O" signifies that there is a mapping there. For sensor-relay mappings, a "T" signifies a mapping that has a time-based relay reset mode. An "S" signifies a mapping that has a sensor-synchronized relay reset mode. An "X" signifies a mapping that has a manual relay reset mode.
9. Restore Defaults – Restores the default settings.
10. Apply – Saves the settings.

To map the cameras to relays, click on the grid to place a mapping. Depending on what reset mode is selected in the drop down list menu, the appropriate mark will appear on the grid. A "T" for time-based reset mode, an "M" for motion synchronized reset mode or an "X" for manual reset mode. Once a camera has been mapped to a relay, this means that when that particular camera detects motion, the relay which is mapped to that camera will either open or close.

NOTE: You can map one camera to more than one relay and vice versa. When applied, this means that when motion is detected in any of the cameras, the relay that is mapped to these cameras will open or close, i.e. light will turn on.

To apply settings, click on the Apply button.

1. Reset Mode – Indicates the reset mode for camera-relay mappings. The reset mode options are Time, Motion Synchronized and Manual. Time-based reset mode follows the relay reset time set in the General Event Settings. Motion synchronized reset mode follows the status of the camera. If the camera no longer detects motion, then the relay turns off. Manual reset mode means the relay will not reset back to normal unless manually reset.
2. Mapping – Indicates the mapping that have been set. For camera-relay mappings, a "T" signifies a mapping that has a time-based relay reset mode. An "M" signifies a mapping that has a motion-synchronized relay reset mode. An "X" signifies a mapping that has a manual relay reset mode.
3. Restore Defaults – Restores the default settings.
4. Apply – Saves the settings.

1. Port – Displays a drop down list menu for port settings.
2. Data Bit – Displays a drop down list menu for data bit settings.
3. Baud Rate – Displays a drop down list menu for baud rate settings.
4. Parity – Displays a drop down list menu for parity settings.
5. Stop Bit – Displays a drop down list menu for stop bit settings.
6. Unique settings checkbox – Indicates whether unique settings are used per camera or otherwise. If checked, unique settings are used per camera. To have all cameras use the same settings, keep this option unchecked and modify the settings in Camera All.
7. Motion Border – Indicates whether the motion border alarm notification is enabled or not. If checked, it means that a red border will appear around the video in live view if motion is detected.
8. Object Detection Mask – Indicates whether the object detection mask alarm notification is enabled or not. If checked, it means that a transparent blue mask will appear around the area in live view where a new object was placed or where an object was removed.
9. E-map – Indicates whether the e-map alarm notification is enabled or not. If checked, it means that when motion is detected for that camera the camera icon in the e-map will then blink.
10. Beep – Enables/disables the system beep when an alarm is triggered.
11. E-mail – Indicates whether e-mail alarm notification is enabled or not. If checked, it means that an e-mail notification will be sent to the specified e-mail along with a jpeg screenshot attached to it when an alarm occurs for that specific camera.
12. E-mail Address – Displays e-mail address used for the e-mail alarm notification.
13. SMS – Indicates whether SMS alarm notification is enabled or not. If checked, it means that an SMS notification will be sent to the specified cell number when an alarm occurs for that specific camera.
14. Cell No. – Displays cell phone number used for the SMS alarm notification. The country code must be included in the entry.
15. Email and SMS Notification Delay – Sets the minimum delay between email and SMS notifications. If an alarm is triggered for a specific camera and an email or an SMS notification has already been sent, an email or SMS will not be sent again for that camera if the same type of alarm is triggered within the delay period. This is to prevent the spamming of email and SMS notifications.
16. Restore Defaults – Restores the default settings.
17. Apply – Saves the settings.
