10) Alarm Configuration

This feature allows the administrator to set parameters that affect the manner in which the triggers (both internal and external) will cause the VersaCam to respond.

Motion Detection Threshold:

This value is used to set the threshold for the motion detection function. During operation with this feature enabled (See Application Configuration) changes in the video image are perceived by the camera as motion and cause E-mail or FTP files to be sent. The administrator can determine the level of motion (amount of variation occurring in the video image) that will be required to cause this trigger to occur.

Threshold “0” is the most sensitive state and “900” is the least sensitive state.

The administrator should gain some experience with motion in the desired frame of reference before settling on a particular value for this threshold. Note that the motion of leaves on trees, cars on distant roads, and other transient events must sometimes be taken into account when setting up this feature.

Alarm Parameters for E-mail / FTP Application:

Here, the administrator defines image-recording conditions that will occur in the event of a trigger of the three possible sensors. These include motion detection (MD) or external sensors (SID1 and SID2 Events).

The VersaCam 360 can record between 0 and 2 frames for 1 or 2 seconds before the event and/or between 0 and 2 frames for 1 or 2 seconds after an event. The maximum recording rate is 1 frame per second. These are the image frames that will be E-mailed or transferred by FTP depending on the Application Configuration setup. If the trigger event lasts longer than 2 seconds, the camera will continue to send non-duplicate images regardless of any overlap in the time setting.

Alarm Preset

If an external trigger is sensed by the camera, the camera can be forced to move to one of the preset monitoring points by enabling this feature for one or both of the external inputs. Such preset positions are configured

in the PTZ Configuration menu. The two external triggers can be associated with different preset locations if desired.
