Alarm notification
Allows you to customize how each user responds to an alarm.
• Sound Notification: Enables sound notification in response to an alarm event.
• Snooze: Allows you to set an alarm snooze time. When enabled, the DVR5100
displays an “Alarm Received” message each time an alarm occurs. If you select
Snooze, the alarm occurrence disappears from the window, and the snooze action (by
default, 10 minutes) is recorded in the system log. After a delay, the alarm notification
reappears with a clock icon indicating that the alarm was previously snoozed.
• Display warning for alarms with severity: Allows you to select the severity for
each alarm. The severity determines how alarms are announced and which users
receive the announcement. Options include Minor, Normal, Major, and Critical. This
feature is disabled by default.

Writing all messages to the system log means that it can grow very large. Consider pruning
the log more frequently than 30 days if you choose this option.
• Operating messages only: These messages track normal operations in the system and
are useful for tracking regular system activity.
• Debugging messages: These messages can help you solve problems related to devices
or the network.
