Advanced Configuration
Alarm Manager:
Use the
Alarm Manager
page to set the response (action) that results from an
individual alarm. It is possible to have more than one action for a single alarm by adding additional
rules (for example, one action could capture an image and another could generate an output). If a
message is to be sent from the camera as a result of an alarm, it is necessary to define Message
Systems and set up Notification Lists (refer to
Services Menu, pg. 2-12
). See also the Media Browser
(
Media Browser, pg. 3-27
).
In general, each Alarm Rule describes an alarm
Source
and a single alarm
Action
. For the FC-Series
camera, the source of the alarm typically will be internal from the camera itself, although it is also
possible for the camera to receive alarms from another camera or device/server on the network (such
as a radar server, input/output server, ground sensor, fence system, or other security sensor).
Alarm Source:
The source of alarms for the FC-Series S camera is typically internal from Video
Analytics and/or GPIO Input, while the FC-Series R camera also can have Radiometric IR alarms. In
these cases, the Alarm Source Server IP Address is set to the localhost value of 127.0.0.1 and the
TCP port is the default 1001. Otherwise the address and port are set to an external server. For internal
alarms, the FC-Series camera Alarm Source Device ID is set to 0.
The
Alarm Source Device Type
is chosen from a pull down menu; not
all options are available for a specific camera or installation.
When the alarm source is Video Analytics or Radiometric IR, the
Alarm
ID
corresponds to the area or spot id (0-3), as configured in the Setup
menu. The
Alarm ID
is set sequentially during the setup for each alarm
source. Refer to
Video Analytics Setup, pg. 3-4
and
Temperature
Monitoring Setup (FC-Series R camera only), pg. 3-10
.
When the alarm source is from the internal GPIO Input, the
Input ID
is
set to 0 (recall the input is IO 0 and the output is IO 1).
