N.C.: Normal Closed contact.
Active Camera: This field is for associating this alarm device with a specific camera. For example, if you had an external
motion detector near camera four, you would select "4" here. This alarm will be associated with this camera for optional
full-screen display, event logging, and PTZ preset activation.
PTZ (Preset/Tour/Pattern/AutoPan): Clicking this field will display a drop-down menu with the options Off, Preset, Tour,
Pattern, and AutoPan. Selecting any option except Off and Autopan will open another field where you can enter any number
between 0 and 255. If the Active Camera is a PTZ speed dome, and if it has been configured with any of these preset
positions/movement sequences, the user can select the type of preset and the number of the preset. If these settings are
configured correctly in this field, the DVR will instruct the Active Camera to move to the specified preset position/sequence
IF/WHEN this alarm device experiences an alarm event. The DVR will also record the resulting video feed.
Email Notify: Check this box to enable email notifications when an alarm event occurs. Email operation requires that valid
email settings have been entered in the Network Setting > Email setup screen. (See the Email section for more information.)
Network Alarm: Check this box to send out a network alarm to a client PC when this alarm device experiences an alarm
event. (This feature requires PowerCon software on the client PC and proper settings for the Alarm Server in the Network
Setup menu; see the Alarm Server section for more information.)
Auto Lock: Check this box to let the DVR record the footage of this alarm device's alarm events in the write-protected
segment of the Hard Disk. (The DVR will lock a period of time around the moment an alarm event occurs, the length of time
will depend on the DVR settings.)
Alarm Output: Selecting "None" deactivates this option. Selecting one of the numbers will let the DVR transmit an output
signal through any wire connected to the similarly numbered alarm output on the back panel – IF/WHEN this alarm device
experiences an alarm event. This means that the alarm event triggered by this alarm device can trigger a reaction in another
device, if such a device is connected to the DVR via the relevant alarm output socket.
Output Type: Use this field to select the type of output action when an alarm event is relayed to another device.
Timeout: The alarm output lasts for as many seconds as is configured in the Timeout Duration field below.
Permanent: The alarm output will remain active until the user presses the "Enter" key or resets the alarm remotely.
Transparent: The alarm output remains as long as the alarm input is active.
Trans+Timeout: The alarm output continues until the event ends, then
continues for as many seconds as is configured in the Timeout Duration
field below.
Timeout Duration: Period selectable from 1 to 150 seconds.
Apply To: This button can be used to copy this alarm device's settings to
other alarm devices. Select which cameras you wish to copy to. "Select All" selects all cameras, "Unselect All" deselects all
cameras. Click "OK" to copy the settings or "Cancel" to exit without copying.
