Honeywell K5404V9 manual Controlling an Onsite Device Output, Dealing with Multiple Alarms

View: Operator Guide

Surveillance common sense

View operators may find that security video from outside world and customer-device events is usually more informative than from other events. For example, viewing video from the time of an alarm, caused by an intrusion detection sensor at your site, makes good sense. Video from the time of a session start might/might not make as much sense since the event did not happen at a Multi site. For a list of outside world, customer- device and other events, see table 16 on p. 6–17.

6.5.1Dealing with Multiple Alarms

!82 To switch to video from one alarm to another

1.While running an alarm session, select more than one alarm from the session’s tear-away player. To select specific alarms, use MS-Windows mouse and keyboard techniques.

2.Click Video. When a site has many cameras, you are asked to select one or more. A Retrieval session starts, displaying the date and time of the earliest alarm that you selected at step 1.

3.To display a list of the other alarms selected at step 1, click the arrow at the right of the item box; an item box can be seen in figure 61.

4.Select an alarm in the list that appears.

5.To display the Alarm session, click “Alarms”, below the name of the site on the Site action tab.

6.6Controlling an Onsite Device: Output

Flexibility

Like other Multi features, use of outputs to control onsite devices is optional. Ask your Multi SA if such devices are connected to the Rapid Eye Multi-Media unit(s) in

your system.

Taking action, before, during or after an alarm

You can use outputs to remotely control onsite devices such as lights, sirens, or gates.

Before you can use outputs ...

To use the outputs, View operators need specific rights in their user account. Your Multi SA has to:

•add the Use outputs and Live video rights to the user account. This enables a View operator to run a live session and click the output buttons.

•grant access to the site(s) assigned to the operator by supervisor.

!83 To use an output

•The outputs are displayed during a Live session. Click the output that matches the device. Your Multi SA can inform you as to which output matches which device.
