Setting Up Automatic Camera Mapping

Automatic camera mapping offers a simplified method for configuring the capture card analog output. Video from each camera source will be automatically cycled across the monitor’s view panels. In the automatic mode, all cameras will be displayed sequentially, starting with Camera 1 and continuing through Camera 32 (depending on your system configuration).

The following information should be noted when using the automatic camera mapping feature:

•The automated sequence is interrupted each time a motion or alarm event is detected.

•When the HVR detects an event (either motion or alarm), the monitor output displays the camera source that detected the event. The amount of time that an event channel is permitted to override the automated sequence can be set from 1 to 60 seconds.

•Eight-channel HVRs offer only the 1 x 1, 2 x 2, and 3 x 3 view panel options. If you select more than one screen division, each camera channel will cycle through each screen before the next panel division is presented.

To configure automatic camera mapping:

1.On the DX8100 toolbar, click the Setup button . The Setup dialog box opens to the Camera page.

2.Click the Ext. Monitor button . The External Output page is displayed.

3.In the Auto Camera Mapping Mode section, do the following:

a.Select the Auto Camera Mapping Mode button.

b.Select from the screen division options.

c.Select dwell time (1-60 seconds) from the drop-down box. This is the amount of time each window will remain on the monitor.

d.Select the type of event that will be allowed to override the monitor output:

•Alarm input

•Motion detection

e.Set the dwell time an event will be allowed to override the screen (1-60 seconds).

4.Click the Apply button at the bottom of the page.
