	This chapter details the advanced features of the AutoDome Modular Camera System.
7.1	Alarm Rules
	The 300 and 500i Series AutoDome feature a powerful alarm rule engine. In its simplest form,
	an alarm rule can is to define which input(s) activate which output(s). In its more complex
	form, a rule can be programmed to take any combination of input(s) and keyboard com-
	mand(s) to perform a dome function. There are numerous combinations of alarm inputs and
	outputs that can be programmed into 12 alarm rules.
	Following are two examples for setting up alarm rules. The first example is a basic alarm rule,
	the second example is a more complex or advanced rule.
	Example 1: Basic Alarm Rule
	Scenario: We want a door alarm contact to:
	1.	Flash an OSD message (***ALARM 1***) on the display when the alarm is triggered.
	2.	Move the AutoDome camera to a saved position. (For this example Shot 7.)
	3.	Transmit a Bilinx signal over the coax cable to the headend system, such as an Allegiant,
		to trigger an alarm response.
	The sequence to program the above alarm rule example is as follows:

1. Define the Alarm Input(s)

a. Wire the door contact to Input 1 in the AutoDome. This circuit is normally open.

i	NOTICE! For instruction on wiring alarm and relay connections, see the AutoDome Modular
	Camera System Installation Manual.

b.From the Inputs Setup menu, ensure that Alarm Input 1 is set to N.O. (This is the default setting for Input 1.)

2.Define the Alarm Outputs from the Outputs Setup menu:

a.Ensure Output 5 is set to OSD. (This is the default setting for Output 5.)

b.Set Output 6 to Shot 7.

c.Set Output 7 to Transmit. (a Bilinx signal to the head end)

3.Set up the Alarm Rule. (For this example use Rule 1.) Select the Inputs from the Rule Setup menu:

a.Select Rule 1.

b.Set the first input to Alarm Input 1.

Select the outputs:

c.Set the first output to OSD.

d.Set the second output to Shot 7.

e.Set the third output to Transmit. Enable the rule:

f.Highlight Enabled and select YES.
