Panasonic WV-NP472E Alarm Functions, When an Alarm Arises, Transferring Picture Files

ALARM FUNCTIONS

When an alarm sounds, the camera performs output functions depending on the setup.

Inputs:

•The alarm sensor connected to the ALARM IN ter- minal on the camera

•The built-in VMD (Video Motion Detector) that detects a motion in video by monitoring the speci- fied area

Outputs:

•“Alarm” display appears in the upper right corner of the main page.

•The picture files as an alarm sounds are stored in the camera.

•An e-mail notifies the specified addresses of the alarm activation with or without a picture file.

•The stored picture files are sent to the FTP server.

•The ALARM OUT terminal on the camera becomes active.

•The notice of an alarm activation is sent to the serv- er specified in Panasonic Protocol Setup, using the Panasonic's original protocol.

■When an Alarm Arises

•“Alarm” display appears in the upper right corner of the main page. The alarm status display may delay for a maximum of half a minute due to its refresh cycle.

•The pictures as an alarm sounds are stored in the memories of the camera.

The total storage number of the pictures depends on three factors: pixel numbers, picture quality, and the number of pre-alarm storage. The existing oldest data will be replaced with new picture data when the data volume exceeds over the memory capacity. The tables below give guidelines of the available picture numbers for the post-alarm stor- age .
