This is the “Monitor” menu, which governs the internal monitor in the
OmniBase and also timestamp related control.
TIMESTAMP
- If set to
YES
images will be stored with an embedded time /
date stamp. See below for a description of the time stamp.
AUTO PWR-DWN
- If the OmniBase has not been used after a specific
duration, the unit’s inbuilt monitor will turn off, to avoid monitor burn-
in. Pressing any button on the keypad will turn the monitor back on. This
does not affect recording or any external monitors connected to the unit.
Select the auto power down time using the left and right menu keys.
BRIGHTNESS AND COLOUR
- Enter the Brightness and Colour help
screen (see next page).
TIMESTAMP POSITION
- The position of the timestamp can be moved to
either bottom -low/bottom-mid/bottom-high which are 3 positions below
the main image or top-low/top-mid/top-high which are 3 positions above
the main image.
A typical time stamp which appears on all images output on the monitor is
shown below.
During an alarm event, an “
A
” will appear at the end of the time stamp. The
camera number indicates which camera grabbed the image, and the time and
date indicate when the image was grabbed.
CAMERA TEXT
- voluntary text for each camera can be entered (see
Camera Text menu on page 38)
OmniBase record in the order 121314 121314 e.t.c. Camera 1 is
effectively prioritised over the other cameras.
TRIGGER
- the alarm recording is triggered by the alarm inputs (See the
alarm input menu).
[Old versions of OmniBase (pre year 2000) do not have the Alarm
inputs menu and only have a single alarm input which is set up on this line].
PRE-TRIG RECORD: OFF/1/2/5/10/20/30/45/60/90/120 MINS.
This specifies the duration of footage to be write-protected, prior to the
alarm event trigger. This allows the footage leading up to the alarm event
to be protected and reviewed, without the risk of it being over-written by
later recording. Pre-trig recorded footage is only available if the unit has
been recording prior to the alarm event. (Note write protection only
occurs if
WRITE PROTECTION: ON
selected)
POST-TRIG RECORD: 5/10/20/30/45 SECS.
1/2/5/10/20/30/45/60/120 MINS.
This specifies the duration of footage after the alarm event to be write
protected. This allows the footage during the alarm event to be reviewed,
without the risk of it being over-written by later recording. All footage
during the post-trigger period is marked with the character A (Alarm) and
a log is placed in the alarm history list. (Note write protection only occurs
if
WRITE PROTECTION: ON
selected)
When the alarm event occurs, the unit will begin recording as specified by
the Alarm Recording Menu. After the post-trig time has elapsed, the unit will
return to normal / timer recording if it had been recording before the alarm
event, or else it will stop recording.
If another alarm event occurs during an alarm recording, the whole post-trig
time from that point is write-protected (if write-protection is active), as well
as the period from the first event. Write-protection of alarm recorded footage
can be removed by deleting the corresponding event in the “Alarm History”
menu (see page 27).
Examples:
In this example, 30 seconds of recorded footage before the alarm event was
triggered will be write-protected, as well as the 1 minute after the trigger. The
third trigger extends the alarm event to 1 minute after the trigger.
