ALARMS OPTION
The Alarm option allows you to configure alarm operation for the unit.
NOTE: You must possess the Setup Alarms privilege to access it (see Security Option
on page 127).
1. From the main screen, click the Setup button. The Setup Options screen appears.
2. Click the Alarm button. The General tab (the first Alarm Setup screen) appears.
General Tab
Use the General tab to configure how the unit responds to an alarm.
NOTE: The virtual keyboard is disabled on the General tab.
Duration Use this option to set the minimum alarm time (in
minutes and seconds) from five seconds (00:05) to five
minutes (05:00). The unit maintains the active alarm for
the set time and then clears it automatically. The default
is five seconds (00:05).
Alarm on Video Loss Use this option to generate an alarm event any time the
unit stops receiving a video signal from any camera. The
unit also displays the message Video Loss over a color
bar pattern. This option is selected by default. If not
selected, the unit does not respond to loss of camera
video.
Alarm Message
Display
Use this option to display the message ALARM on the
associated camera’s image whenever an alarm occurs.
This option is selected by default. Otherwise, the alarm
message will not be displayed.
Latch Messages Use this option to require the operator to manually clear
every alarm using the Clear Latched button on the Utility
Options screen. Otherwise, alarm messages remain on
the screen until either the duration time expires or the
event is cleared.
Unit Alarm Out Use this option to energize alarm output 16 whenever
any alarm event occurs.
