5.4.4  VIDEO LOSS ALARM 
  The DVR supports a Video Loss Alarm function which allows an Alarm Event to occur 
when a camera loses its signal. The lost signal can be due to Power failure to the 
camera, the camera cable being cut or unplugged, or the camera being damaged in 
some way. 
  In order to use Video Signal Loss detection, cameras must either be ENABLED or 
DISABLED. This is because the DVR needs to know which cameras it should expect to 
receive signals from. To ENABLE camera(s), open Frame Setup, and set the Frames 
Per Second to anything above zero. By designating zero frames per second the 
camera will not be used by the DVR. 
 
1 Activate 
Audio Alarm 
(BEEP) When video loss occurs, an 
internal speaker on the DVR 
will sound an alarm. 
 
2 Video Loss 
Alarm Log When video loss occurs, the 
event is recorded in the DVR 
log. 
 
3 Activate 
Alarm Output Activates the last Relay 
Output on the DVR when 
camera loses signal. (This is 
#16 for a 16/32 ch DVR and 
#8 for an 8ch DVR)

5.5 FRAME SETUP 
  The Frame Setup menu gives the user the option to adjust both the resolution and the 
number of images per second each camera will record. When setting up the FPS 
sliders, the BLUE slider represents the frames in which the DVR will capture the 
incoming video at while the RED slider represents the frame rate that will be recorded. 
 This option is beneficial when higher frame rates are desired remotely. The Server will 
only send out frames remotely that have been first encoded. For Ex. If the Blue 
‘ENCODING’ option is set to 25 FPS and the Red ‘RECORDING’ option is set to 7 
PPS then the DVR Server will record 7 PPS and users viewing live video remotely will 
receive 25 PPS on that specific camera. Please note that there are two different Fame 
Setup windows for low end and high end models, the picture below illustrates the high-
end Frame Setup. 
 NOTE: The Software will not allow the maximum available Frames to be exceeded. 
NOTE: The RED FPS record slider cannot exceed the BLUE FPS capture slider.

left at the default setting unless instructed by a system 
administrator.
