Description
Enter the time you want alarm event recording to end.
After you have set up the start and stop times for the desired days, select Enable,
then Accept to confirm your settings.
Select Disable, then Accept to deactivate alarm event recording for the days and
times set.
You can install a panic button (for example, in a subway station) and run a wire from the
panic button to the remote monitoring unit to provide a ground to an alarm input of the
HRDV unit.
When the panic button is pressed and the alarm input detects an open or closed condition
(depending on how you configure the alarm input) the main video monitor automatically
switches to a live display of the camera(s) set to record the alarm. If multiple cameras are
set to record a multi camera screen appears—quad (2 x 2), nine (3 x 3), or 16 (4 x 4).
When an alarm is removed, the monitor returns to a multiscreen view of all live cameras.
If a single alarm occurs and you are viewing the first alarm camera view and a second alarm
then occurs on a different camera, the monitor shows a multiscreen display that includes
both alarming cameras.
To enable this feature:
1. Access the General Setup screen (MENU
2. Enable the Alarm homing field.
