Alarm status	off	Current alarm activation status can be shown in the video
		frame (similar to the name, date, and time stamping dis-
		cussed in Table C).
		If configured to be on, the status of the activated alarms,
		namely video, motion and input, is shown in the upper left cor-
		ner of the video frame. Or, the display can be activated as
		soon as an alarm condition is reached. This way, the video
		frame corresponding to the alarm condition is clearly marked.
		Also, there is a choice to keep the status display, once an
		alarm has been triggered, even when the original cause of
		the alarm is no longer present, or to have the status dis-
		play follow the alarm condition.
Alarm message	empty	In connection with the alarm status explained above, a
string		user-defined text string can be displayed on the screen in
		the upper right corner. The text string is typically used to
		convey additional alarm-related information to the remote
		viewer (a guard, for example).
Connect	off	The alarm functions would have little effect without auto-
		matically triggering corresponding actions. The current set-
		ting allows for an automatic connection establishment to
		the given IP address. The idea is to provide a remote
		monitoring station with live video in case of an alarm.
		This feature can be useful even for many applications not
		related to alarm conditions. One example is a video-
		equipped door entry system: when the doorbell is pressed,
		a contact closes and the connected transmitter autono-
		mously connects to a receiver. Full duplex audio can pro-
		vide verbal communication, while the relay output can re-
		motely open the door.
		On receivers, the default alarm connection IP address is
		set to 192.168.0.1 (default IP of transmitter).
Live video	0.0.0.0	Enter the IP address of the transmitter or receiver for
receive IP		live/alarm connection. If that remote unit has a password,
		enter it in the Remote Password field so the two units can
		communicate with each other.
