is in AUTO mode.
ALARM OUTPUT
- This can be set to:
The dwell time specifies the duration spent on a camera before switching to
the next camera. Use the up / down buttons to choose the camera, and the
right / left buttons to increase / decrease the dwell time. The dwell time for a
camera can be set to
SKIP
, so the camera is ignored (this may be done if
fewer than the maximum number of cameras are connected). A dwell time of
2, 5, 10, 20 or 30 seconds is selectable.
If
SHOW ALARMED CAMERAS: > YES
is selected then the video switcher
ignores the timing entries in the above menu and instead displays the view of
the alarmed camera. If more than one alarm inputs are active the lowest
alarm number is used and this camera is displayed. Other parameters that
affect the SHOW ALARMED CAMERAS feature is the post trigger time in
the alarm recording menu (this extends the length of time the alarmed camera
is displayed after the alarm). Also the alarm inputs need to be enabled in the
alarm inputs menu. Note also that it is not necessary to enable the alarm
recording to use SHOW ALARMED CAMERAS.

CLOSED
- The circuit across the
#NCTO 1WV
terminals (see page 10)
will be closed if any of the conditions set to
YES
on this menu occur,
and open otherwise.
OPEN
- The circuit across the Alarm Out terminals will be open if any
of the conditions set to
YES
occur, and closed otherwise.
The alarm input must be held active for a minimum of 1 second to ensure
valid triggering. The alarm output is held active for a minimum of 5
seconds following any alarm condition. When the alarm is active a
message is displayed on the main screen indicating the alarm source.
Press any key to delete the message.
CAMERA DISCONNECTED
- If set to
YES
, the alarm output is activated
when a camera is disconnected from the unit during recording. The unit
has to be recording on a disconnected camera to generate this alarm. The
OmniBase records a blank screen with a camera disconnected message
into the footage so that on playback the user is reminded that the camera
had been disconnected at the time specified. 5 seconds after the camera
is reconnected the alarm will cease. The message still needs to be cleared
by pressing any key.
ALARM INPUT CLOSED
- If set to
YES
, the alarm output is activated when
the
#NCTO +P
terminals are active. Again the output is held active for a
minimum period of 5 seconds.
ALARM OCCURRED
- If set to
YES
, the alarm output is activated if an alarm
event (see page 24) has occurred. A battery and bell may be connected to
the alarm out relay so the user is informed if any alarm has occurred
when the OmniBase was not attended. The alarm condition is cleared
when the user enters the alarm history menu to view the alarm history.
