Video loss settings are very important for surveillance, since anytime you lose footage, you lose valuable information. 

The Clearvu11 can perform various tasks when it detects loss of any video, depending on howit is setup. You can 

adjust the settings for each individual camera.

In Camera Setup, press ENTER to call up Video Loss Setup of the selected camera as shown when the highlighted 

option is on Settings in the Video Loss row for the camera you wish to setup.  Each camera will have its own settings 

and can be different from the other 3 cameras.

The Video Loss Setup allows the administrator to define how the system responds to the detected video loss for the 

camera.

The following is a brief description for each item and its specific operations:

Duration – this displays how long (in seconds) the Alarm Out relay and the Buzzer will keep being triggered after 

video loss is detected for this camera. The Alarm Out relay and the Buzzer will be reset immediately once the 

camera returns to normal. Press +/- buttons to adjust the value (3 seconds-60 minutes, or discrete).

Pre-record – this allows you to define how long before video loss is detected this camera shall be recorded using 

the pre-record IPS. Which means there can be up to 10 seconds of video always being recorded before a video 

loss occurs.  The most recent “10 seconds” will always be in the buffer. Press +/- buttons to adjust the value (0-10 

seconds, discrete). Please note that the actual pre-record time may be shorter than the value set if the total size of 

the pre-record pictures exceeds the pre-record buffer size of the system.

Alarm Out – to define which Alarm Output will be triggered when video loss of this camera is detected. Press +/- 

buttons to select none (N/A) or one of the Alarm Outputs (1-2).

to check/uncheck this item. The default setting is “” - checked.

Screen Message – this selection allows you to display the event message on the screen (or not). A message will  

 

 appear on the scrolling information section at the bottom of the display. Press ENTER or +/- to check/uncheck this 

item. The default setting is “” - checked.

E-mail – this option will send an event e-mail to a pre-determined email  address when video loss is detected. The 

e-mail will be sent to the predefined receivers at the moment the event is triggered. Press ENTER or +/- to check/
