ALARM DISPLAYS
Alarm Indicators
There is on-screen display of an
A
in each corresponding cameo of multiscreen displays and
ALM,
on any full-
screen displays relating to cameras in alarm.
An additional indication, in the form of an LED, is provided on the front panel, next to the ALARM key. This LED
will flash if any live alarm is active and has not been cleared. In addition, an internal buzzer will sound while any
live alarm is active unless the buzzer has been disabled via the menu system..
MOTION INDICATORS
Depending how your system has been set up, the indicator,
M
, may appear in each camera scene whenever
motion has been detected. This motion indicator will continue to be displayed on each active cameras cameo or
monitor for at least 2 seconds after the motion has ceased.
VIDEO LOSS
Videoloss is indicated by
VDL
in a full screen display or
V
in the relevant cameo of a multiscreen display.
Video loss Action In digital Live Mode
Monitor A: If the camera is being displayed at the time that video loss occurs, the camera image will be frozen.
However, if sequencing is in progress, the display will be blanked when it is switched to a camera experiencing
video loss.
Monitor B: Monitor B cannot freeze images, and so the display will be blanked while a camera with video loss is
selected.
Video loss Action In Record Mode
When video loss is detected, the affected camera is temporarily removed from the record list, and the coded
digital data recorded with each field will be updated to indicate a video loss situation on the affected camera. This
video loss status is then shown during playback. The multiplexer system continues to monitor cameras which
have video loss and will automatically restore the cameras when video loss ceases. The analogue display on
Monitor A cannot be frozen and will therefore be blanked if a camera with video loss is selected.
