Alarm Setup Menu
Provided as standard on the ZVR-130 are two contact type alarm inputs, a dedicated Tamper contact type alarm input and a
video fail alarm, which automatically detects the loss of video from the camera.
Alarm inputs can be independently configured to trigger on contact closure or contact opening. Each alarm input can also be
disabled to eliminate false alarms when work is being carried out in the alarmed area. When an alarm occurs the
programmed alarm caption is displayed on screen. If more than one alarm is active at any one time the OSD cycles between
the alarm captions displaying each one in turn for a period of time.
Alarms can be managed centrally when the ZVR-130 is connected to a ZSC-500 or ZSC-1000 ZoneVu Site Controller. For
example certain alarm inputs may require the action of another camera to provide full coverage of the incident. In this
instance the ZSC-XXXX would be configured to request alarm status from the camera on a regular basis. Upon receipt of the
alarm the ZSC-XXXX could instruct a PT camera to recall a preset or execute a patrol to monitor the area in alarm.

The Trigger Time parameter is used to reduce the number of false alarms due to ‘contact bounce’ from the
alarm source. The trigger time is important as it validates the alarm source. After the alarm is initially
triggered the source is checked again after the Trigger Time. If the alarm is STILL triggered after the Trigger
time has elapsed the alarm is accepted as a valid alarm. To set the
Trigger Time
select Trigger Time and
enter a time period in the range of 10 to 990ms.
