INTERNAL ALARMS
Figure 4-2: Set Alarm Actions Screen
Alarms can be processed internally by the dome, externally by the controller, or both.
Internal alarms are configured by setting a preset or pattern.
A preset is a programmed video scene, based on a specific pan, tilt, zoom, and focus settings.
A pattern is a series of pan, tilt, zoom and focus movements from a single programmable
dome.
For each of the four alarm inputs, you can choose to display a preset or pattern whenever the
alarm's input state changes from normal to abnormal. Or you may choose to have no internal
alarm associated with the input. You may also choose to send changes in the input state to the
host controller. If the changes in input state are sent to the host, the host actions have higher
priority than the associated dome actions.
Note An active internal alarm only resets when the input state changes to
“normal.” A manual reset is
not available.
Assigning Alarm Actions
I M P O R T A N T
Certain controllers allow the alarm actions for domes to be specified at the
controller. These controllers include ADTT16, AD32, AD matrices with
AD2083-02A code units, or AD168 with CCM or AD2083-02A.
Do not use
both the dome configuration utility and the controller to assign the
alarm actions for the same input.
Use only the dome configuration utility
or the controller to the assign the alarm actions.
To configure alarm actions, do the following:
1. Select Alarms/Areas/Home from the Dome Configuration Menu .
Highlight Bar:
Move up / down
with Tilt control.
Move right / left
with Pan control.
