ALARM CONTROL FUNCTION

The alarm function activates the warning alarm status, when
an externally connected alarm sensor is turned on, or an
installed Video Motion Detector (optional) is activated.
The Disk Recorder activates the recording alarm status
within the specified recording mode; it also activates the
status display, such as the ALARM indicator, monitor dis-
play and alarm buzzer, to indicate that an alarm signal has
been received.
Described below is an example of an alarm status activa-
tion.
For further details related to the recording of images during
