Administrator’s Guide and Operating Instructions

!"Focus Camera – To define the camera that will respond to this Alarm Action. The default settings are Camera 1 for Alarm Action 1, Camera 2 for Alarm Action 2, and so on.

!"Pre-record – Pre-record time to define how long (in seconds) before the Alarm Action is triggered the Focus Camera shall be intensively recorded (Note 2). Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to adjust the value (0-5 seconds).

!"Post-record - Post-record time to define how long after the Alarm Action is triggered the Focus Camera shall be recorded at Alarm Recording Rate. Please refer to Camera Setup for Alarm Recording Rate of Camera. Use the Up/Down arrow buttons to adjust the value (5 seconds-60minutes).

!"Enable – Check to enable the Alarm Output when the Alarm Action is triggered.

!"Alarm Out – To define which Alarm Output will be triggered when the Alarm Action is triggered. NC and NO signals are available, please refer to Alarm Out Setup. Click on the Down arrow button to select one of the Alarm Outputs (AO 1-4).

!"Output – Alarm Out output state when the Alarm Action is triggered. For NC signal, it’s always open, for NO signal close. The Normal State above shows whether the selected Alarm Out is NC signal or NO signal.

!"Buzzer On – To activate the internal buzzer or not when the Alarm Action is triggered.

Note 1: When the Alarm Input that triggered the Alarm Action returns to normal, the internal buzzer and the corresponding Alarm Output will return to normal immediately.

Note 2: The processing power for the system is 25 FPS for PAL and 30 FPS for NTSC. So, if the total configured recording rate for all the cameras is 5 FPS, intensive recording means that the actual FPS for the Pre-record time for the Focus Camera is 5 times (for PAL) or 6 times (for NTSC) the configured normal recording rate for the Focus Camera. The formula is:

Fp = Fn x 25 / Ft for PAL, Fp = Fn x 30 / Ft for NTSC

Fp: Pre-record FPS, Fn: normal FPS for Camera n, Ft: Total configured FPS.
