How the System Resolves Conflicts in Camera Control
If your system configuration includes two T
OUCH
T
RACKER
s, the Main
T
OUCH
T
RACKER
will always have priority over the Call T
OUCH
T
RACKER
when the system is in the camera control mode. Whichever camera the Main
operator has selected will be “locked” and the Call operator will not be able
to control it. The Call operator can select that camera and display its video
on the Call monitor; however, he or she will not be able to control that
camera at all.
If the Call operator attempts to control a camera that is currently selected by
the Main operator, the message,
“Camera In Use”
appears on the Call
T
OUCH
T
RACKER
. If the Main operator selects a camera that is currently in
use by the Call operator, the message,
“Camera Override”
appears on
the Call T
OUCH
T
RACKER
. The Main operator secures control of the camera.
The Main operator maintains control over a camera until one of the
following things happens:
•
The Main operator selects a new camera
•
The Main operator enters the menu/programming mode
•
The Main operator initiates the Sequence
•
An alarm comes into the system
•
The selected camera remains idle for 3 minutes
Once the Main operator relinquishes control of a camera for any of the
reasons mentioned above, the message,
“Camera Free”
appears on the
Call T
OUCH
T
RACKER
(if the Call operator has that camera selected).
Selecting a Camera
Each camera has a unique number associated with it. To select a camera, use
the number buttons to enter the camera number, and then press
Camera
.
The video from that camera appears in the full-screen mode on the monitor,
and the associated camera number appears in the bottom left corner of that
monitor.
