In this dialogue box you determine the cameras which are to be activated for recording and/or for the 

display  on a monitor. To determine the settings select one of the cameras and  change the  values to 

suit your requirements. 
 

 

 

Global settings 

Description 

Video norm 

  For selecting the video standard (PAL or NTSC) for data recording. 

List of cameras 

  Lists the analogue cameras and their settings. 

Frame rate 

  Select how many pictures per second are to be recorded (valid for all cameras). 

  Maximum picture rate varies depending on the number of active cameras. 

  Configuration of one or more analogue cameras for the video-OUT reduces the 

frame rate of the other cameras, as if they were activated for recording! 

Specific settings 

Description 

Camera name 

  Give the camera a name (max. 50 characters). 

  To achieve accurate identification the name might include reference to the 

camera’s location (Cam1_entrance).  

  Keep names as short as possible so that the whole name is visible on the monitor. 

Camera connected 

  Signals the system, that on the relevant video input a camera is connected 

physically. All detectors regarding this video input will be activated with this. 

  Only activate this option, if the camera is really connected to the entry, otherwise 

the device displays error messages (e.g. video signal of a camera is missing).  

  Icon for those cameras which are connected physically to the system, but not 

activated for recording: 

 

  After setting the option the camera has to be activated for recording. This setting 

has to be made in the dialogue ‚Activations’, by setting a new activation ‚At 
system start 

 permanent recording of camera X’.  

Only then appears the icon  for the cameras activated for recording:
