These alarms are in addition to those already set up in your system.

If an intruder is able to get to your DVR, and the program is properly configured, youwill still retain evidence and be alerted - even if the phone cable at your system’s location is cut.Alarm SetupTo begin, you will need to create the AlarmScheme using the Alarm Setting window.Once the window has been opened, you willneed to create a name for this event, set thetime of day that it will be active and the natureof the event.
