Alarm Displays In Play Mode
Regardless of the mode selected, Monitor-B will always display live images. Hence,
during PLAY mode, live alarm inputs will cause live alarm displays on Monitor-B, not
Monitor-A. Monitor-A will continue to display playback images.
Monitor-A During PLAY Mode - Recorded Alarms
In PLAY mode the Monitor-A display will not automatically provide alarm displays
based on recorded alarm status. Monitor-A will display the playback images from the
VCR according to your selected formats, and will display the normal A alarm
indicator only if a camera was in alarm at the time that a recording was made.
Caution
If a camera which had an alarm at the time of recording is not selected by you for
display, there will be no on-screen indication at all that the alarm occurred. Thus if
you are looking for cameras in alarm during playback, ensure that all the cameras
on tape are displayed by using a 16-way multi-screen.
Alarm LED And Internal Buzzer In PLAY Mode
The LED and internal buzzer alarm indicators will be activated only if a live alarm is
active. Alarm status played back from a recorded tape has no effect on these
indicators. The internal buzzer can be disabled via an internal hardware strap.
Alarm Displays In Record Mode, Simplex Models Only
During RECORD mode only, and on the simplex model only, Monitor-A displays are
always analogue full-screen, exactly the same as Monitor-B’s normal mode.
As a result, the simplex model cannot display a multi-screen image on Monitor-A
during recording, and alarms cannot be manually frozen. If an alarm occurs during
RECORD mode, Monitor-A will automatically switch to the live analogue full-screen
display of the camera in alarm. If multiple alarms are active while recording, the
simplex unit will automatically sequence between the alarm cameras at a fixed one
second dwell. This is exactly the same display as on Monitor-B during alarms.
Recording For Alarms
You can select either Normal recording, Exclusive recording or Interleaved recording
to take place whenever an alarm occurs. The latter two modes will always result in a
faster update to tape of a camera in alarm.
Note
This is a global setting, and is not set up individually for each alarm input.
