Advanced Features

 

This chapter details the advanced features of the VG5 AutoDome Camera.

7.1

Alarm Rules

 

The AutoDome features a powerful alarm rule engine. In its simplest form, an alarm rule

 

defines those inputs that activate specific outputs. In its more complex form, a rule can be

 

programmed to take any combination of inputs and keyboard commands to perform a dome

 

function. There are numerous combinations of alarm inputs and outputs that can be

 

programmed into twelve alarm rules.

7.1.1

Controlling Alarm Rules

 

The AUX 69 command allows a user to enable or disable all alarm rules. By default, alarm rules

 

are enabled until the OFF-69-ENTER command is issued from a keyboard (there is no

 

corresponding menu item for this command). Disabling alarms rules does not erase the rule,

 

the AutoDome preserves the user-defined settings and the rule data is restored when the ON-

 

69-ENTER command is issued.

 

The OFF-69-ENTER command performs the following actions:

 

Disables all alarm rules

 

Displays the message “Ack and Reset Alarms” if an alarm-rule triggered alarm is active

 

 

when the AutoDome receives the disable command. You must acknowledge the alarm

 

 

before the rule is disabled.

 

Prevents the modification of an alarm rule while disabled.

7.1.2

Alarm Rule Examples

 

Following are three examples for setting up alarm rules. The first example is a basic alarm

 

rule, and the second and third examples are more complex.

 

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.

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

 

2.

Define the Alarm Input(s)

 

 

– From the Inputs Setup menu, ensure that Alarm Input 1 is set to N.O. (This is the

 

 

 

default setting for Input 1.)

 

 

 

NOTICE! For instruction on wiring alarm and relay connections, see the VG5 AutoDome

 

Installation Manual.

 

 

 

 

3.

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).
