Alarm Polling Time

How often to check for alarm conditions. Applies to all sound and email alarms, and to all cameras. No set individually per camera. Typical value is about 30 to 60 seconds. Works in conjunction with Frames For Alarm. So if  Frames for Alarm = 20 and Alarm Polling Time = 60 seconds, then alarm condition will occur if during the 60 seconds, 20 or more frames of video have motion detection in them for a particular camera. Alarm Polling Time is a timer you set how frequently you want the system to check for alarms conditions.

Alarm Send Delay
