[. . . ] The second method involves leaving the REC button off so that only events are recorded. The following settings will assume that the second method is used for event recording. With either method, the events will trigger the designated relays and send out 59 SAGA "XL" Series notification e-mails if the e-mail addresses have been defined. Please see 6. 4. 8 RELAY OUTPUT under 6. 4 EVENT SETUP section on page 106 and 6. 6. 5 E-MAIL under 6. 5 LINK SETUP on page 124. 5. 3. 1 ALARM RECORDING Alarm recording is a form of event recording that triggers off of the circuit lines connected to the terminal blocks in the rear of the DVR. Typical circuits comprise of normally closed circuits (NC) and normally open circuits (NO). Please verify that the alarm option has been selected in either QUICK SETUP or RECORD PROGRAM. The channels on which the alarm is triggered will display the "ALARM" message. The REC button will light up as the DVR starts to record and the channel status will change to red. The recording will include the pre and post recording time on the channels that are recording. 5. 3. 2 VIDEO LOSS RECORDING Video loss recording is a form of event recording that is triggered when a channel loses its video input signal. Video loss recording is useful to have other channels compensate for the loss of the video signal on a specific channel. For example, when a video loss occurs on channel 1, then the DVR can start recording on channel 2, 3 and 4. Moreover, the channel which loses the video signal will retain the last five seconds of the video to retain what occurred before the video loss. Please verify that the video loss option has been selected in either QUICK SETUP or RECORD PROGRAM. The channel on which the video loss occurred will display the "VLOSS" message. The REC button will light up as the channels that are designated to record when a specific channel has a video loss start recording. On the example to the left, channels 2, 3 and 4 are designated to record when channel 1 goes out. The recording will include the pre and post recording time on the channels that are recording. 60 SAGA "XL" Series 5. 3. 3 MOTION RECORDING Motion recording is yet another effective form of event recording that is triggered when a channel detects motion in its field of view as the MPEG compression algorithm allows for accurate and error-free motion detection. The channels which detect motion will display the "MOTION" message. The REC button will light up and the channel status will change the color to red in the channels in which the motion was detected. The recording will include the pre and post recording time on the channels that are recording. 5. 4 ADVANCED PLAYBACK To find and access the recorded data more efficiently, the DVR provides various search modes: calendar search, search & copy, time search, event search, block search, file search, bookmark search and text search. 5. 4. 1 CALENDAR SEARCH Calendar search provides a quick overview of the year, month, day and hours of the day so that the data can be accessed relatively quickly.
