Detecting Camera Video Loss
The AD168 system has built-in video loss detection.
The video loss detection level set for a particular
camera is based on the lighting conditions that exist
where the camera is installed.
For example:
• A camera installed in a room that is brightly lit on
a 24-hour basis would have a video loss
detection level set to VIDEO HIGH or VIDEO
MED.
• A camera installed in a shadowy or dark area, or
an area where lighting conditions vary
considerably, would have a video loss detection
level set to VIDEO LOW.
Regardless of how the lighting conditions and video
signal vary, a sync signal should always be present
in a working camera. Setting the video loss
detection level for SYNC ONLY produces a video
loss message when the sync signal is absent. This
would occur if a camera is malfunctioning,
disconnected, or if the camera cable is cut.
To set the video loss detection mode:
1. Select or hold the desired camera on the monitor
under your keyboard control.
2. Turn the keyswitch to the PROGRAM position.
3. Enter one of the following F2 code combinations:
