Pictures per alarm:
Each alarm event leads to the display of a single, or a maximum of four
simultaneous images. The alarm images correspond to the camera group: i.e. if
one image is displayed per alarm event, only the image from the first camera in
the group where the alarm has triggered will be switched If two images are
required per alarm event, the images from cameras 1 and 2 in the relevant
group will be displayed, etc. As a group can include no more than four cameras
(see section 11.2), the maximum number of images per alarm event is also four.

Alarm zone
You can set the alarm zones here by selecting any of the zones (8 maximum)
whose alarm events are to be switched to the monitor in question.

Only alarms generated by the alarm lines allocated to alarm zone 1 will be
displayed (see section 11.1)
It is of course possible to program a monitor to display alarms from a number of
different alarm zones. The alarm zone status in terms of time-enabling is also
displayed here (e.g.
always
, ‘07:00<-> 12:00’). See section 10.4 for more details.
