A camera alarm can come from Activity Detection (when
it is enabled), or the external alarm input, or both.
When an alarm event occurs on the alarm source
enabled with this menu, an alarm output will be
generated if the alarming camera input is enabled
through the “Enable Scheduled Alarms” menu (See
“Alarm Scheduling” on the next page). If the event is
allowed to occur, the alarming camera(s) will be
displayed, and the alarming camera(s) will have an increased multiplexing rate. When an alarm is
disabled (Off), an alarm input will not affect any aspect of the VCR multiplexing, the live camera
display or the Call Monitor display. Alarms that are turned off will not generate an alarm output.
Video Loss Alarms
Selecting:
1 - 16
Toggles the selected camera Video Loss
alarm between “On” and “Off” (factory
default).
An alarm will be generated upon loss of video input on
any camera with the Video Loss Alarm enabled,
provided the camera’s alarming input is enabled through
the “Enable Scheduled Alarms” menu. The “No Video”
message will be displayed anytime a camera video input
is not present, regardless of the alarm settings.
