3.6.3 Alarm Actions Section
The alarm actions section of the alarm handling parameters is used to control the actions that will
be taken when an alarm condition is declared.
Digital Output Tab
Action Enable - Check the Action Enable box on the Digital Output
tab to enable the camera’s digital output line as an action to take when
an alarm condition is declared. If the digital output line is enabled as
alarm action, it will become active when an alarm condition is
declared.
Digital Output Hold Time - Sets the amount of time (in milliseconds) that the output line will
remain active after an alarm condition is declared.
Note that if the hold time is set to 0, the output line will remain active only as long as the alarm
condition remains active.
Email Tab
Action Enable - Check the Action Enable box on the Email tab to
enable the sending of an email as an action to take when an alarm
condition is declared.
Include Image - Check the Include Image box to include an image
with the email. The included image will be in JPEG format and will be
an image that was captured when the alarm was declared. The image
will be the size of the sensor AOI (see Section 3.4.1 on page 19).
Click the Text Overlay button to add a text overlay to
the image included with the email. See page 40 and page 41 for an
explanation of how to use the Text Overlay button.
