Action at an Alarm Occurrence, Alarm type

Action at an Alarm Occurrence

The alarm action will be performed when the following alarms occur.

Alarm type

Terminal alarm: When connecting an alarm device such as a sensor to the EXT I/O connector 1-3 on the rear of the camera, the alarm action (camera action at an alarm occurrence) will be performed when the connected alarm device is activated. Alarm action to be performed differs depending on the settings configured in the "Camera motion on alarm" section of the [Alarm] tab. (☞ page 44)

VMD alarm: When motion is detected in the set VMD area, the alarm action will be performed. * VMD stands for "Video Motion Detection".

Command alarm: When a Panasonic alarm protocol (☞ page 53) is received from the connected device via a network, the alarm action will be performed.

Action at an alarm occurrence

Display the [Alarm occurrence indication] button on the "Live" page. (☞ page 7)

The alarm occurrence indication button will be displayed on the "Live" page at an alarm occurrence.

Important:

When "Polling (30 sec)" is selected for "Alarm status update mode" (☞ page 20), the alarm occurrence indication button will be refreshed in 30-second intervals. For this reason, it may take a maximum of 30 seconds until the alarm occurrence indication button is displayed on the "Live" page at an alarm occurrence.

Notify of alarm occurrences to the device connected to the alarm connector

It is possible to output signals from the alarm connector on the rear of the camera and sound the buzzer when an alarm occurs. The settings for the alarm output can be configured in the "Alarm output terminal" section of the [Alarm] tab of the "Alarm setup" page.

Transmit an image onto a server automatically

An alarm image can be transmitted at an alarm occurrence to the server designated in advance. The settings required to transmit an alarm image to a server can be configured in the "Alarm image setup" section of the [Alarm] tab of the "Alarm setup" page (☞ page 46) and the [FTP] tab of the "Server setup" page (☞ page 57).

Important:

Select "FTP error" for "Save trigger" on the [SD memory card] tab when using the SD memory card. When "Alarm input" or "Manual" is selected for "Save trigger", an alarm image will not be transmitted at an alarm occur- rence to the FTP server.

Notify of alarm occurrences by e-mail

Alarm mail (alarm occurrence notification) can be sent at an alarm occurrence to the e-mail addresses registered in advance. Up to 4 addresses can be registered as recipients of the alarm mail. An alarm image (still picture) can be sent with the alarm mail as an attached file. The settings for alarm mail can be configured in the "E-mail notification setup" section of the [Notification] tab of the "Alarm setup" page (☞ page 52) and the [Mail] tab of the "Server setup" page (☞ page 56).

Notify of alarm occurrences to the designated IP addresses (Panasonic alarm protocol)

This function is available only when a Panasonic device, such as the network disk recorder, is connected to the sys- tem. When "ON" is selected for "Panasonic alarm protocol", the connected Panasonic device will be notified that the camera is in the alarm state. The settings for Panasonic alarm protocol can be configured in the "Panasonic alarm protocol" section of the [Notification] tab of the "Alarm setup" page. (☞ page 53)
