1 - 8
Toggles the selected camera alarm between

Alarm disabling prevents an alarm input from affecting
any aspect of the VCR multiplexing or the live camera
display. Alarms which are turned off will not generate an
alarm output.
Alarm Dwell Adjustment
Selecting:
1. Allows changing the alarm ACTIVATION HOLD
time.
2. Allows setting of a MAXIMUM time for an alarm
to be displayed.
3. Allows changing the monitor alarm display
SEQUENCE DWELL time.
Some alarming devices (such as some motion
detectors) generate very brief alarms lasting only a
fraction of a second. The ACTIVATION HOLD time is
the amount of time that the alarm event will be held so
that the alarm camera image can be kept on the display
screen and mutiplexed at a high frame rate to the VCR.
The MAXIMUM time for holding an alarm display will
determine how long a continuous alarm camera will be displayed. This can be adjusted so that a
continuous alarm will not consume all of the VCR’s record time. A value of zero (factory default) will
result in no time limit for an alarm display.
The alarm SEQUENCE DWELL time determines the display hold time during multi-camera alarms.
The monitor display will sequence between all cameras with alarms present using this dwell time.
Every alarming camera will be multiplexed to the VCR at a high frame rate.
Both delay times are adjustable from 1 to 254 seconds though the default is 1 second for the
activation hold and 3 seconds for the sequence dwell time. Camera buttons are used to enter digits 1
through 8 and PIP and QUADRANT buttons are used to enter 0 and 9 respectively. The DISPLAY
button stops the editing of a delay value.
