would like the snapshots to be sent. There are two options to determine the Duration over which snapshots will be sent. If you choose While in Alarm you will receive snapshots continuously until the input goes back to normal. If you choose Total you will receive a fixed number of snapshots once the alarm is detected. You can also select the time between snapshots in the Snapshot Interval field, and you can choose the maximum number of Snapshots Sent per E-mail. Camera snapshots will not work if a User Login is required in the camera.

Note: the E-mail messages sent via Alarm Response operate independent of Profile Class and Contact Schedule.

High Sound Alarms

The RIM-600 measures the sound level with the built-in microphone on the front panel. This can be useful in detecting audible alarms in close proximity to the unit. To detect alarms at a distance from the unit, you can plug an external condenser microphone into the mic jack. Note that the audible alarm must be more than just a periodic beep. Only alarms that produce a loud, steady or pulsing signal (for example, smoke detector alarms) will be recognized by the RIM-600.

The unit is programmed to trip an alarm if the sound level increases by a programmed number of decibels. On the High Sound programming screen this parameter is listed as “Change in dB.” The default setting is 30db. This means that if the audio level increases more than 30 dB for the dura- tion of the recognition time, an alarm will be tripped.

To verify that your audible alarm is capable of tripping an alarm we recommend that you perform several tests to check the decibel increase at the RIM-600 unit. The test should involve tripping your audible alarm and checking the measured level within the ConsoleView Software. Using the data obtained from your testing, you can then set the Change in db parameter appropriately.

If you are not concerned about High Sound alarms or if the unit is installed in a generally noisy environment that could easily trip false alarms, we recommend you disable the High Sound alarm monitoring via the Schedule.
