ALARMS OPERATIONS
There are three types of alarms; the alarms set by an external alarm trigger, the alarms set by a loss of the video signal and the
alarms set by the video sensor.
EXTERNAL ALARMS
When external inputs such as a door bell, an interphone, etc.,
are connected to the CONTROL terminal (pins 1 – 8), they will
send alarm triggers automatically. On the monitor screen, the
alarm display will identify the camera corresponding to the alarm
trigger.
Example:
If an alarm trigger is received for camera 4
(in quad screen)
1
The buzzer is heard and the camera 4 indicator flashes.
The alarm output changes from HI (5V) to LOW (0V).
2
The image from camera 4 and the camera number (04)
will be displayed, EA (External Alarm) will flash at the
left of the camera number.
The action taken here will depend on the settings entered in
the (ALARM SET) menu (see page 19).
