Advanced Configuration
Alarm Actions:
Just as there can be multiple sources of alarms, there
are also a variety of actions or responses to these alarms. Some
actions are only used with pan/tilt cameras. Actions such as Point,
Load ScanList, Go To Preset, and Engage Radar Track would only be
used with a pan/tilt camera and are not used with the FC-Series ID
fixed camera.
For the FC-Series ID, typically a rule will be configured to Send a
Notification, Capture an Image, or generate an Output on the GPIO
device. If more than one of these actions is needed, it is necessary to configure multiple rules. An
example of each one of these actions is provided below.
When the
Send Notification
option is selected as the rule Action, a
Notification List must be selected. The
Send Notification
action uses
a Msg System and a Notification List that are set up in the Services
menu (refer to
Msg Systems, pg. 30
).
It is possible to attach an image with the notification when it is sent.To
attach a snapshot, select an option from the
Attach Image File
pull
down list. The option “All Non Radiometric” sends a normal JPEG
image and “Radiometric” sends a radiometric JPEG, a specific type of
JPEG that includes temperature data.
Each rule that sends a notification also has the option to send an
activity report to the same notification list every 6, 12, or 24 hours. The
activity report indicates whether or not an alarm was triggered during
the specified time period. Note that this can be selected on a rule by
rule basis.
Alarm Rule Examples:
The following examples show rules that
control actions from alarms that are internal to the camera (rather than
coming from another source on the network). The first three lines and
the fifth line of these rules is always the same for the alarms coming
from the FC-Series ID camera itself
,
and only the source type changes
(Video Analytics or GPIO Input)
