is detected, the system will show you an error message saying, for example, ‘Configuration
verification found 6 error(s)! See log file’. The error log is updated each time an error occurs.
Now proceed to the individual component parts of the configuration, starting with the Alarm
Settings menu detailed below.
4.4 Alarm Settings
‘Alarm Settings’ allows you to set up each alarm on the system. The tree on the left
highlights ‘Alarm’ and shows the total number of alarms configured for the system in brackets
(in this case 1701).
Notes:
For a V3i single unit (with 32 camera inputs), ‘Alarm’ numbers 1 to 32 are always allocated to
video loss alarms. Therefore the 128 possible Alarm Inputs MUST be allocated to ‘Alarm’
number 33 onwards.
For a V3i expanded unit pair (with 64 camera inputs and 256 alarm inputs), the video loss
alarms occupy the range 1 to 64. Therefore the 256 alarm inputs MUST be allocated to
‘Alarm’ number 65 onwards.
For V3M, the first ‘n’ alarms are video loss alarms, where ‘n’ is the number of camera inputs
on the system (16 per camera input card).
