Understanding Exception Trigger Options
When setting up exception handlers for such features as motion detection and relay alarms, you may select
triggering options to alert you of these exceptions.
The triggering options that you may select include:
• Pop-up Image on Monitor: When an alarm is triggered, the local monitor (VGA or BNC monitor)
will display an image in Live View mode. This alarm can be configured under the Popup Alarm
Image handle method. For alarms that are triggered simultaneously, images will be displayed one at a
time every 10 seconds (default dwell time). A different dwell time can be set by going to Menu >
Setting > Display > Dwell Time. Once the alarm stops, cycling of the images will also stop and you’ll
be returned to the Live View screen.
Note: As DS-7604NI-S/M model only provides the pop-up alarm images from the main Vout.
• Audio Warning: Trigger an audible beep when exception is detected.
• Notify Surveillance Center: Sends a signal to remote alarm host when exception is detected (See
Configure Remote Alarm Host).
• Trigger Alarm Output: Trigger an alarm output when exception is detected. Alarm output can be
configured by following the steps listed in Setting up Sensor Alarms.
