To setup the viewing of a camera tamper alarm
You can setup the system to alert you when someone has deliberately blocked a camera view, such
as by spraying paint on the lens (also known as anti-masking). You can set it up so that a specific part
of the screen can detect a tamper and thereby trigger an alarm. You can also setup how the system
will alert you to the tamper alarm. You can only setup one anti-masking area on screen.

The Advanced Settings submenu appears. See Figure 34 on page 44.

Off



Normal (default)


When Low, Normal, or High are selected, the Zone and Rules setup boxes become active.
The Zone submenu allows you to select in which part of the screen a tamper can be detected and
trigger an alarm.
The Rules submenu allows you to setup how to handle warning notifications, such as alarm
operational issues.
