Configuring Alarms, Areas, Home, Privacy Settings and Presets
10.2 Alarm
Actions
IMPORTANT
When used in Siemens RS422/485 networks, the dome camera can be
configured to respond to all available alarm inputs. The dome cannot transmit
alarm input states to the host controller. So if alarm states are to be transmitted
to the host controller, the alarm device must be directly connected to the host
controller.
The dome provides alarm inputs. By connecting alarm devices - such as smoke
alarms, twilight sensors, or motion sensors - to these inputs, you can enhance the
usability of your video surveillance system. You can further improve your video
surveillance by assigning a dome action (a preset or pattern) to start whenever an
alarm input changes from normal to abnormal.
When Set Alarm Actions is selected from
Alarms/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ
screen,
the following screen appears:

Set alarm actions.
Use this screen to assign a preset or pattern to occur whenever the alarm's input
state changes from normal to abnormal. You may also choose to have no action
occur when the alarm's input state changes.
Alarms can be processed internally by the dome, externally by the controller, or
both. You may choose to send changes in the input state to the host controller. If
the changes in input state are sent to the host controller, the host actions have
higher priority than the associated dome actions.
NOTE
:
An active internal alarm only resets when the input state changes to “normal.” A manual reset is not
available.
