Allegiant Server
Basic –
In this configuration, each group has exactly
one monitor. Group 1 contains monitor 1; group 2,
monitor 2; and so on. All of the monitors are step
monitors, and each monitor is armed. However, only
groups 1 and 2 are armed. All alarms are armed for
groups 1 and 2. There is no alarm capture time, and
acknowledging is not allowed. This configuration
allows the user to select specific monitors for viewing
each alarm. By arming groups and editing the Alarm
Arm Table, the user can specify that video from any
given alarm be displayed on any arbitrary set of
monitors.
Autobuild –
In this configuration, all the monitors
belong to group 1. All of the monitors are step
monitors, but only monitors 1 and 2 are armed. All
alarms are armed for group 1. This configuration
specifies that all alarms will be viewed on the same set
of monitors. An incoming alarm video will be sent to
whichever monitor currently has the fewest videos in
ascending order. By arming and disarming individual
monitors, the user can specify any set of monitors as
the alarm-handling monitors.
Display & Sequence –
This configuration places all
the monitors in group 1. Monitor 1 is a review
monitor; all the other monitors are step monitors.
Monitors 1 and 2 are armed. Capture time is
FOREVER, and acknowledging is required. All alarms
are armed for group 1. With this configuration, all
alarm videos will automatically sequence on monitor 2
and be entered into a queue on monitor 1 for review.
Alarm Switch Table
Figure 78 Alarm Type Configuration with Context Menu
The
Switch Alarm
tab will be displayed when one or
more alarms have been set to
switch
in the Alarm
Type table. A SWITCH-type alarm is NOT handled as
an actual alarm. Rather, the alarm signal is interpreted
as an external trigger to switch one or more monitors
to a camera.
Figure 79 Alarm Switch Configuration Table
When the alarm signal occurs, the specified camera’s
remote function (if any) will be executed and a set of
monitors will switch to that camera. The switch
behaves just as if a user had explicitly ordered it from
an Allegiant keyboard. SWITCH-type alarms can be
used to allow a single button, wired to the alarm
system, to automatically switch monitors to a certain
camera.
Camera –
Lists the camera number.
Receiver/Driver –
Designates the receiver/driver
function to be activated for the alarm switch.
Data –
The selections available in the data column
depend upon the selected function. For pan, tilt, and
lens functions, the data values represent the duration of
the action. Time values range from 0.5 to 32 seconds
in 1/2 second intervals. For Auxiliary On, Auxiliary
Off, and Auxiliary Toggle functions, the data values
select the auxiliary number. For pre-position functions,
the data values select the pre-position number.
Monitors Columns –
Each checked monitor will
display the designated camera video when the alarm
switch is activated.
