EXCEPTION REPORT

The Exception Report gives you the option to assign an on-screen flag, trigger an alarming device, or send data to another serial device on any questionable transaction that you have preprogrammed into the VSSI-Pro. The VSSI-Pro will allow programming of up to 24 separate exceptions. These exceptions can be any transaction that you determine to be “exceptional” or questionable.

You may even set ranges for some exceptions. For example, all transactions over $100, between $8.00 and $25.00, or lower than $10.00 and greater than $10.00. Exceptions can be set by a specific customer or what ever type of transac- tion you need to watch "exceptionally" close.

ON-SCREEN FLAGS

You have several options for programming your Exception Report. The first option typically has all programmed excep- tions display a flashing asterisk in the upper right corner of the on-screen display. This on-screen flag is controlled through the ALARM OUTPUTS menu. You assign a corresponding alarm to an exception and set the parameters for the flag in this menu. You do this by choosing “DISPLAY” for the corresponding exception number and selecting “ON”. With this option, all questionable transactions (exceptions) will be “flagged” with the flashing asterisk. You can then review these exceptions by putting your DVR or VCR in play and pressing the FF button. This will give you a fast scan of the recording and you can go into normal play when you see the flashing asterisk and view that transaction in real-time or slow play or frame by frame depending on the type of playback options of your particular DVR or VCR.

HARD ALARM OUTPUT

The VSSI-Pro allows you to program exceptions to trigger external alarming devices such as DVRs, time-lapse VCR’s, Quads, Enunciators, LED’s, etc. Using the alarm output you can have your recorder record only exceptions, or have an alarming Quad go to full-screen on an exception, or even trigger a buzzer to alert you that an exception has occurred.
