Setting Up Automatic Camera Mapping

Automatic camera mapping offers a simplified method for configuring the Capture Card analog output. Video from each camera source will be automatically cycled across the monitor’s view panels. In automatic mode all cameras will be displayed sequentially starting with Camera 1 and continuing through Camera 32 (depending on your system’s configuration).

The automatic camera mapping feature includes the following stipulations:

•The automated sequence will be interrupted each time a motion or alarm event is detected.

•When the DVR detects an event (either motion or alarm), it will switch the monitor output to display the camera source that detected the event. The amount of time the event channel overrides the automated sequence can be set from 1-60 seconds.

•Eight-channel DVRs offer only the 1 x 1, 2 x 2, and 3 x 3 view panel options. If you select more than one screen division, each camera channel will cycle through each screen before the next panel division is presented.

To configure automatic camera mapping:

1.On the DX8100 toolbar, click . The Setup dialog box opens to the Camera page.

2.Click . The External Output page is displayed.

3.In the Auto Camera Mapping Mode section, do the following:

a.Select the Auto Camera Mapping Mode button.

b.Select from the screen division options.

c.Select dwell time (1-60 seconds) from the drop-down box. This is the amount of time each window will remain on the monitor.

d.Select the type of event that will be allowed to override the monitor output:

•Alarm input

•Motion detection

e.Set the dwell time an event will be allowed to override the screen (1-60 seconds).

Setting Up Manual Camera Mapping

Manual camera mapping allows a user to customize the Capture Card analog output. Individual cameras can be assigned to view panels in any combination. Each customized screen can be added to a sequence list and assigned a specific amount of dwell time. These combinations of customized screens and corresponding dwell times make up sequence instances: multiple sequence instances can be combined into a sequence list. The resulting list will sequentially display each instance on an external monitor in a continuous loop. The sequence will continue uninterrupted until an alarm or motion event overrides the cycle.

The manual camera mapping feature has the following stipulations:

•Eight-channel DVRs offer only the 1 x 1, 2 x 2, and 3 x 3 view panel options.

•If you select more than one screen division, each camera channel will cycle through each screen before the next panel division is presented.
