Configuration 39
Connect off The alarming functions would have little
effect without corresponding actions to
be taken automatically upon alarm. The
current setting allows for an automatic
connection establishment to the given IP
address. The idea is to provide a remote
monitoring station with live video in case
of an alarm.
Even for many applications not related
to alarm conditions this feature proves
useful. One example is a video equipped
door entry system: when the door bell is
pressed, a contact closes and the con-
nected
VIP
transmitter autonomously
connects to a
VIP
receiver, or
VIP -SW1
software decoder. Full duplex audio
does facilitate verbal communication,
while the relay output allows for remote
door opening.
On
VIP
receiver the default alarm
connect IP address is set to
192.168.0.1 (default IP of
VIP
transmit-
ter)
Auto Connect off The auto connect feature will guarantee
an active connection to the given alarm
IP address, even after connection break-
down or network failures. If auto connect
has been selected, the network cable
may be pulled any time. As soon as the
network comes back alive, the connec-
tion is reinstated again. On
VIP
receiver
this feature is enabled to establish a
connection to a
VIP
transmitter auto-
matically.
Send email off Alarm conditions may also be docu-
mented by email. When triggered, an
email message with attached JPEG-
encoded video frame is send to the
given email recipient.
Idle state open The output contacts of the built-in relay
are configured to be either closed or
open, when the relay is idle.
Operating mode bistable When the default bistable mode is
selected, the relay will stay in any state,
idle or active, for an indefinite period of
time. In the monostable operation mode
the relay will automatically fall back to
the idle state after a predefined period
of time expires.
