The Alarm menu is where you can set up alarm inputs and instruct the recorder on what to do when an alarm is triggered.
From the Alarm menu you can access the following sub-menus and features.
Motion
In the Motion sub-menu you can configure motion detection and decide how the recorder handles motion triggers.
I/O
The I/O sub-menu allows you to set what happens when there is an alarm trigger on one of the recorder's hard wired alarm inputs or the hard wired alarm input on a connected IP camera.
Smart
The Smart sub-menu lets you set up how the recorder manages smart detection triggers.
•PID - Perimeter Intrusion Detection.
•LCD - Line Crossing Detection.
•SOD - Stationary Object Detection.
•PD - Pedestrian Detection.
•FD - Face Detection.
•CC - Cross Counting.
•Sound Detection.
•Lens Covered.
PTZ Linkage
The PTZ Linkage sub-menu is another of the Zip's clever features. In this menu you can set up your PTZ cameras to move to certain area when an alarm is triggered or motion is detected on another camera connected to the recorder.
Exception
The Exception sub-menu is a handy tool that lets you set up alarms and notifications for when the recorder encounters a maintenance problem such as a disk error, a full hard drive or if a camera goes down.
Alarm Schedule
In the Alarm Schedule sub-menu you can create schedules for each camera to say when alarm outputs, alarm triggered uploads and alarm notifications should be turned on and off.
