Alarm Operations
a. If the camera is not currently displayed or is displayed in
the camera sequencing window, the unit switches the
live display monitor to the 4x4 format and overrides the
display settings for the duration of the alarm (see Display
Setup on page 82).
b. The unit displays VIDLOSS over a color-bar pattern.
c. If the Latch Messages option is selected (see Alarms
Setup on page 78), the unit enables the Clear Latched
button on the Utility Options screen (see Utility Options on
page 105).
d. The unit suspends camera sequencing on the live display
monitor.
If the Unit Alarm Out option is selected, the unit energizes the
alarm output associated with camera 16 (see Alarms Setup on
page 78).
The unit remains in the alarm state until ALL of the following
occur:
a. All other alarms are released.
b. The Duration time elapses (see Alarms Setup on page 78).
Once the unit exits the alarm state, it returns to the previous display
mode, record mode and quality settings.
If the Latch Messages option is selected (see Alarms Setup on
page 78), the unit displays the alarm message until the Clear
Latched button on the Utility Options screen is clicked (see Utility
Options on page 105).
Generated Alarms
At any time, the operator can flag specific activity as an alarm event,
even if the activity does not trigger a filter or trip an alarm. For more
information on generating alarms, see Generate Alarms on page 106.
When the operator generates an alarm:
1. The unit energizes the alarm output associated with the
camera.
2. The unit records images from the alarm camera at the alarm
record rate and quality setting (see Alarms Setup on page 78).
