CREATING AN ALARM COMMENT
The DVR5100 allows you to create a comment about an alarm event. You use the Comments text box to communicate actions you would like the
operator to take if this alarm is triggered. The alarm message is displayed in the Alarm Notification window.
TIP: You can use an optional KBD5000 keyboard or a USB PC keyboard and mouse to perform some setup tasks more easily. Refer to
Understanding DVR5100 Controls and Menus on page 31 for a comparison on using any of these devices to work with the on-screen menus.
