To activate the Alarm feature, hold the Alarm button on the monitor for 2
seconds. A red light will illuminate to indicate that Alarm mode is active,
and the monitor will go to Standby mode (video will not appear on the LCD
screen, and the speaker sound will cease).
An Alarm is activated when sound at the camera site is detected. In the
event of an Alarm, the monitor will emit a buzzer sound for 10 seconds,
and the LCD screen will turn ON for 60 seconds. During the 60 second
duration, a subsequent Alarm cannot be triggered. If there’s no further
noise at the camera after 60 seconds, the monitor will return to the
Standby mode. To stop the Alarm’s buzzer sound, press the Alarm button.
Alarm mode can be deactivated by holding the Alarm button for 2
seconds. The system will then return to its previous settings.
SETTING ALARM SENSITIVITY
You can adjust the level of the Alarm feature’s sensitivity via the Audio
Sensitivity dial on the side of the monitor. At lower Audio Sensitivity
settings, louder sounds will be required to trigger an Alarm. When the
Audio Sensitivity is at a high setting, soft sounds will trigger the Alarm.

camera location, press the Channel Selector button to navigate between

channels will rotate automatically. To exit Auto mode, press the Auto
button again.
