Configuring Alarms, Areas, Home, Privacy Settings and Presets
10.2.2 Configuring
Normal
Input States for Alarms
IMPORTANT
Some controller types allow you to define the normal input states for dome
cameras directly on the controller. Use only the dome configuration utility or the
controller to assign the normal input states.
The normal input state for an alarm is the state that the device maintains when an
alarm is not occurring. For example, you have a smoke detector connected to a
dome input. Under normal circumstances, the smoke detector should not be
detecting smoke. When smoke is detected, the alarm input changes states (from
open to closed) and an alarm is issued.
To configure the normal state for the alarm, select Set Alarm States from the
Alarm/Areas/Home/Presets/PZ
screen. The following screen appears:
SET ALARM STATES
INPUT NO.
NORMAL STATE

OPEN / CLOSED
2

4

Set alarm states
Use this screen to assign open or closed as the normal state for the dome alarm
inputs. When an input state changes from normal to abnormal and an internal
alarm action is associated with the input, the alarm is triggered. The normal state is
used by both internal alarms and controller defined alarms.

connected switch.
4.
