Is there a way to tell which zone that trigger the recording?

My hardware:
Camera - DS-2DE3304W-DE
Camera - DS-2CD2185FWD-IS
NVR - DS-7616NI-K2/16P

I have, like most seems to have, problem with tons of false alarms from my cameras. A question that keeps popping up in my mind is:
If I have several zones defined in motion- and/or smart events, is there a way to tell which zone that triggered the recording? When there is absolutely no visible movements on the screen it's hard to know what zone that needs to be adjusted...
I've been looking in the system log but it doesn't say anything about which zone that trigger as far as I can see.

Yes, if you enable 'Rules' in the local settings, it will show the triggers visually.
Assuming that VCA is enabled in the recording configuration.

Simple as that! Thanks, that will really help a lot!
I actually saw at least one recordings from today were no boxes flashes. Interesting...
Followup question: Green squares are motion, red are events, right? Green squares are flashing all over the screen, even where I don't have any zones defined. But I guess that is by design, it tells everywhere the camera detect motion. Not only where I have defined my zones.
