4. Use TAMPER ALARM to set the system to notify you when a camera has
been blocked by something. When a Tamper Alarm is triggered, in the Live
View Screen you will see a red【B】in the Channel with an alarm warning.
Configure the following for each channel:
• SWITCH: Turn feature ON/OFF
• SENSITIVITY: Configure LOW/MEDIUM/HIGH
5. Click APPLY. Click CLOSE in the confirmation window.
Alarm Inputs:
Alarm inputs are devices or switches that activate when a door, window,
cabinet etc. is opened or accessed. For example, you might want to only have
the camera record when someone opens a tool cabinet or when a door opens
vs. recording when motion occurs around those areas. There may be people
moving by those areas frequently but you are only concerned about when those
areas are accessed. This saves hard drive space and makes it easier to find an
event that was recorded to the hard drive.
To configure alarm inputs for devices without their own voltage you will use the
+5V input supplied on the alarm block. See Alarm Inputs Configuration diagram at
the right.
Note: If Alarm Input Device has its own power supply make sure:
1. Voltage rating is between 5V and 12V. Do not use the +5V connection on the
Alarm Block.
2. Ground must be connected to GND in Alarm Block for device to operate
properly
When an alarm is triggered, in the Live View Screen you will see a red【I】in the
Channel with an alarm input warning. You may also see a【R】if you set up the
channel to record when an alarm is triggered.
Alarm Ouput:
Alarm output is used to activate an external device such as a horn or light after an
alarm is triggered. To do this the DVR uses a dry contact normally open relay.
To configure alarm ouputs, connect the external device to the NO (Normally
Open) and COM (Common) connections on the alarm block as required by the
device. Use the ground (GND) input if required. The maximum contact rating
is 3A 24VDC.
E-mail Setup:
The system can send an e-mail notification with a JPEG snapshot for triggered
events on the system. To setup e-mail notification:
1. Under EMAIL, select ON.
2. Under SSL, select OFF. NOTE: SSL deals with encryption. Only advanced
users should enable this option.
3. Under SMTP PORT, enter the SMTP port of your e-mail server.
4. Under SMTP, enter the SMTP address of your e-mail server. For example,
smtp.gmail.com
5. Under SEND EMAIL, enter the sender e-mail address.
6. Under SEND PW, enter the password of your e-mail server.
7. Under RECV EMAIL, enter the e-mail address that will receive the e-mail
notification.
8. Click APPLY. Click SURE in the confirmation window.
9. Click EXIT in all menus until all windows are closed.

E-mail Tip
Depending upon your settings, the system can generate a lot of e-mail alerts. For that reason, we recommend
setting up a dedicated e-mail address specifically for the Security System alert notices. Also to better manage
your alerts, you will want the alert e-mails to go to a different account than the one sending them.

USB Flash Drives
The system is compatible with most major brands of USB flash drives, with capacities from 256 MB to 4 GB. If
you need to reformat your flash drive then click on the USB FORMAT button while the USB drive is connected to
the USB port on the front of the DVR. Be aware that this button is not for use with any external USB hard drive
you may connect to the DVR for backup. External hard drives will need to be formatted using the FAT32 format
and this can be done by connecting the drive to the USB port on a PC and reformatting it from there.
