6.9 Alarm In Setup
The Alarm In Setup allows the administrator to define the behaviors
for each Alarm Input at each Time Type. There are up to 24 Alarm
Inputs connected to the system. For each Alarm Input and each
Time Type, you may enable/disable and select its corresponding
Alarm Action. For most applications, 16 Alarm Inputs are enough
to correspond to 16 Alarm Actions and hence 16 (Focus) Cameras. 8
more Alarm Inputs are reserved for users’ convenience.
Operations:
After the Alarm In menu item is selected, the Alarm In Setup dialog
box will be shown on the screen.
Please click on the item in the Alarm Input List, then click on the
Alarm Input Tag, and then enter the new tag name for the selected
Alarm Input by using the mouse or the keyboard. For the Alarm
Action for each Alarm Input, please click on the item in the Time
Type list to select the Time Type. All the other settings correspond
to the selected Alarm Input shown in the Alarm Input Tag and the
highlighted Time Type in the Time Type list.
The following is a brief description for each item shown above.
Installed – Check this item if the selected Alarm Input is installed.
If the selected Alarm Input is installed, all the items on the right side
are settable. The default setting is NOT installed.
