Things You Can Do
• Select a camera manually: Click its
associated button in the top portion of the
TV-monitor control;
• Loop through cameras in Sequence:
Click [>>>] to show additional controls,
ensure the cameras to appear in sequence
are selected (bottom portion of the monitor
control), and set the dwell time as desired
(display time for each camera). Then, click
[SEQ.] to start or stop sequential viewing.
• Set Alarms to Trigger Camera Monitoring:
To have camera(s) displayed whenever an
alarm occurs (external input or video motion-
detection), click [>>>] to open the bottom of
the TV-monitor control, and ensure “Enable
Alarm Alert” is selected.
Note: Although not specifically related to the “Alarm
Alerts” feature, this feature does require external
inputs to be enabled and/or video motion-detection to
be set up (see “Related Topics”).
• Clear an Alarm: For alarm-triggered
cameras, the camera button will turn red, a
[Reset Alarm] button will appear at the top of
the TV-monitor control, and the camera will
display until acknowledged by an operator.
To clear/acknowledge an alarm-triggered
camera, simply click [Reset Alarm] (while
the specific camera image is being
displayed).
Note: After clearing an alarm, a camera cannot be
tripped again until any alarm-triggered recording is
completed.
