|
Video alarm | off | The signal video source (the camera in most cases) is con- |
|
| stantly checking for availability. Should the video signal fail— |
|
| due to tampering or failure of the camera or video |
|
| alarm action may be triggered, if selected, as explained below. |
|
|
|
Motion alarm | off | The system has a video motion detection feature. The |
|
| video scene is constantly monitored for relevant motion. |
|
| Click the Configuration button to access a camera view |
|
| overlaid with a grid. Select the cells you want the system |
|
| to monitor for motion. Click the Select All button in the Se- |
|
| lect Sensor Fields box to select all cells (which will turn |
|
| red). To set an individual cell, click on it with the left mouse |
|
| button. Click with the right mouse button to deselect a cell |
|
| (which will turn white). Select or deselect multiple cells by |
|
| holding down the left or right mouse button and dragging. |
|
| Release when finished. Press the Clear All button in the |
|
| Select Sensor Fields box to deselect all cells. |
|
| Set sensitivity using the arrows in the Sensitivity box, or |
|
| drag the square button on the bar between Low and High. |
|
| The following conditions must be met for motion detection |
|
| to function: |
|
| • Motion detection must be activated. |
|
| • At least one cell must be activated. |
|
| • Sensitivity must be set higher than zero. |
|
| The sensitivity needs to be adapted to the respective envi- |
|
| ronment and the acceptable false alarm rate: for a lower |
|
| false alarm rate select a lower sensitivity and vice versa. |
|
| Some experimentation is required to find the best setting. |
|
| Use of the motion detection feature is only recommended |
|
| indoors and under controlled lighting conditions. |
|
|
|
Alarm input pin | off | If external sensors or simple contacts or switches will be used |
|
| with the system, you need to turn on the alarm input. You |
|
| also must select whether the input is normally open or nor- |
|
| mally closed. |
