Controlling Monitors, Cameras, and Output Devices
2-13
Each alarm can be configured to automatically call up video and initiate an
output device. For example, when an alarm is triggered, it can automatically
run a specific Pattern and set off an audible alarm. In addition, whenever an
alarm is triggered, the T
OUCH
T
RACKER
beeps, signaling an active alarm.
The T
OUCH
T
RACKER
beeps every second until the alarm is cleared either
manually or automatically.
There can be up to four alarms active at one time. If more than four alarms
are active simultaneously, and none are cleared, the oldest alarm gets
“pushed out” of the queue.
The following illustration is an example of what the LCD looks like when an
