3.6.2 Alarm Buffers Section
Each video stream can have an alarm buffer. Normally, the alarm buffer on a stream is simply a ring
buffer that stores the last N captured images for the stream (N depends on the size of the images
being encoded and the size of the buffer). If an alarm condition is declared, however, the alarm
buffer will only continue to buffer post alarm images until the part of the buffer that is allocated for
post alarm buffering is full. At that point, buffering will stop, and the pre and post alarm images held
in the buffer will be retained until a new Alarm Buffer Arm command is issued.
Note that you will only be allowed to arm the alarm buffer if the Alarm Buffer Size and Post Alarm
Buffer Size parameters for the stream have been set to values greater than zero (see
Stream 0 Tab

- Click the Arm Buffer button to arm the alarm buffer for stream 0. (If the buffer is in a
"done" state, this will arm the buffer and make it begin buffering again.)
Disable Buffer
- Click the Disable Buffer button to disable the alarm buffer for stream 0.
