About the Event Function

The event action will be performed when the following events occur.

•Motion detection: When motion is detected by the motion detection function (see below), this is stated as an event of motion detection.

•Video Loss: When a video signal supply is stopped because of a cable disconnection or malfunction of a camera, this is stated as an event of video loss.

•Terminal alarm: When a signal is supplied from an external device such as a door sensor to the ALARM terminal, this is stated as an event of the terminal alarm.

•Command alarm: When a command alarm is supplied from a PC connected to the SERIAL connector on the rear panel of this unit, this is stated as an event of the command alarm.

About the Motion Detection Function (VMD)

An alarm signal will be supplied when motion (luminance transition) is detected in a designated area. It is possible to save images recorded in the place where motion is detect- ed, or send e-mails when motion is detected.

Refer to a system administrator for further information about the required settings for the motion detection function such as the settings of the detection area.

■Action at an event occurrence

The event action will be performed according to the set- tings when an event occurs.

There are 2 event action modes, the alarm mode (ALARM) and the activity detection mode (ACT DET), for each event type. The event action will be different according to the event action mode set.

When an event of the alarm mode (ALARM) occurs, this unit activates the alarm action.

About the event action mode

●Alarm Mode (ALARM)

This mode announces an event occurrence outside. Action taken in the alarm mode is referred to as the alarm action.

●Activity Detection Mode (ACT DET)

This mode records images in the place where an event occurred without announcing it.
