Alarms
Video > Tamper Detect > Configure Alarms
The Configure Alarms section enables you to view the current status of the alarm output and to
set a delay for the activation/deactivation of alarm outputs.
Note:
In addition to the status indication in this section, alarms can also be read from the
TC620-PID 's internal Management Information Base (MIB) using appropriate software, or
through Siqura's Open Streaming Architecture (OSA) - that is, the "Siqura Programming
Interface" (API). The TC620-PID includes SNMP support for its image monitor and tamper detect
functions. A trap is sent when bad image quality or camera tampering has been detected and
another one when the situation returns to normal. This support requires a new SNMP MIB, the
OPTC-VCA-MIB, which can be downloaded at www.siqura.com.
Item
Description
Min. event duration
Alarm output delay time: the time span that is to elapse before a continued
change in conditions actually activates/deactivates the alarm output.
Alarm output
True
or
False
. Indication of current status.
Tip:
A PTZ camera moving from one preset to the next may trigger an alarm if the scene change
takes too long. Setting an appropriate time for the Min. event duration parameter can delay the
alarm output until the camera has adopted the new position and the alarm condition has ceased.
