The menu system is used to configure the OmniBase. Configuration
parameters include recording resolution, camera sequencing, timer settings
and alarm triggering and alarm triggered recording. There is also access to
monitor options, peripheral installation and password functions. The
password restricts the operator’s ability to access playback, recording,
switcher and menu functions.
A menu can contain the following types of entry:
Sub-menu heading - press the right arrow menu key and the sub-menu
is entered.
Function - press the right arrow menu key and the function is performed
(e.g. Reset System).
Selection - press the left and right menu keys to cycle through the
choices.
Numeric item - input numbers 0 to 9 on the keypad (e.g. entering a
time) and use the
&'. button to correct mistakes.
Any changes made to the menu system have immediate effect. Any changes
to the menu are stored onto the hard disk within 3 seconds of the user
making the change. To revert to the factory settings run a
4'5'6 /'07
function in the
4'5'6 5;56'/ menu.

As an example the OmniBase disk might record cameras 123 continuously.
With a timer the T401 cartridge could be set to record cameras 123 during
working hours (Normal menu), camera 3 outside working hours (via Timer)
and the alarmed cameras during an alarm (Alarm menu). A rate reduction of
x2 is chosen so that the T401 cartridge records at 1 image every 2 seconds for
each camera (approx). With 20% conditional refresh (typical) for the T401
cartridge,
OmniBase disk of 3.2GByte: 5 hours
T401 cartridge of 25GByte: 41 days*
[*50kB x 20% per image assumed]
A pro-rata calculation can be made for different capacity hard disks.
