Camera Management: Video Loss
Camera Management: Video Loss
Video Loss
is regarded as a potential alarm event, and is
considered to occur any time that the DVR doesn’t receive an
active video signal on any of its inputs.
The default behaviour of the DVR, when a channel has no
incoming video signal, is simply to display “No Video” in white
text on a black background over the associated channel.
If you’re not using all the inputs on your DVR, then some
channels will be in “permanent” video loss state. Just be sure
that you don’t enable a video loss action for these channels.
Camera:
Which channel/camera you’d like to set the video
loss behaviour for.
Enable Video Loss Alarm:
Whether the selected channel has
video loss monitoring active or not.
Camera Management: Video Loss - Handling
Full Screen Monitoring:
When the video signal has re-
established connection, the camera will display a full screen
image momentarily.
Audible Warning:
The DVR will use its internal buzzer to emit
an alarm tone. It sounds like an old computer indicating an
error, or a large truck backing up.
Alert CMS Software:
A warning message is sent to the
SwannView Plus
client software installed on the computer.
Send Email:
The DVR will send an auto-email alert when the
event type you’ve selected occurs. To configure your email
settings - see “Configuration: Network: Email” on page 40
for details.
Trigger Alarm Output:
Instructs the DVR to output an alarm
signal from the alarm output terminal(s). The alarm output(s)
must be correctly connected and configured.
