When the Tracker Ball is moved to the right of the View or Pattern entry, the
lower line of the LCD displays the information related to outputs. Refer to
the following illustration.
CAM12/1==> MON 5
OUT CAM09 OUTP3
In this example, input 1 on camera 12 is the specific input that will trigger the
alarm. The alarm input device, for example, could be a motion detector that
triggers an alarm when it senses motion. When this alarm is triggered, Quick
View 96 on camera 9 appears on monitor 5. In addition, output 3 on camera 9
starts automatically. The output device might be, for example, a light that
turns on when the alarm is triggered. Even though you can only see the
information for one alarm input at a time, each camera can have four alarm
inputs.
When programming alarms, you should be aware of the following
information:
•
Which input will trigger the alarm? (The input can be connected to a
dome or the video matrix switcher.)
•
On which monitor will the video associated with the alarm appear?
•
Which dome's video will appear on the designated monitor?
•
Which output (if any) will be initiated when the alarm is triggered?
It might be helpful for you to fill out the Setup Alarms Worksheet in
Appendix A before you begin setting up an alarm. On the Setup Alarms
Worksheet you can determine which inputs on which domes (or switcher)
will trigger which video action and output, if any. You can then refer to this
worksheet when you are actually setting up an alarm. When you are ready to
begin configuring the alarms, refer to the next section, “Setting Up System
Alarms.”
This is the dome whose output
will be activated when the
alarm is triggered.
This is the number of the
output that will be activated
when the alarm is triggered.
