SECTION 12 
ALARM MONITOR 
 
12.1  ALARM MONITOR OVERVIEW 
 
The Alarm Monitor software is a utility that streams video across a Local Area 
Network to a Client PC when an alarm is detected on the DVR unit. The video that 
streams across can be stopped, played forwards and backwards, in slow motion or 
real speed.  
 
The utility is loaded at startup and placed in the taskbar. It constantly monitors for a 
signal from the DVR unit. When an alarm signal is detected the Alarm Monitor 
Image Viewer window opens and starts playing the video from the camera 
associated to the alarm.  
 
12.2  INSTALLING THE ALARM MONITOR 
 
1 Insert the Software Installation Disc into the CDROM. (Do not install on the 
DVR unit) Select the Alarm Monitor option to begin installation and accept 
the license agreement.   
 
2 Follow the on screen instructions.   
 
3 Click the Finish Button to complete the installation.
