System - There are a number of system features that can be used to
trigger an alarm, these include Panic, Disk low, Disk Full.
General - These contacts are configured in the General Contacts section.
Zone OR Input
The Zone OR Input identifies an alternative input that can also be used to
trigger the zone alarm. This means an alarm trigger can be received on zone
alarm input or the zone OR input for the Digital Sprite 2 to initiate the alarm
actions. The allocated alarm trigger can be any of these options; Aux, Module
1, VMD, Presets, System.
Zone AND Input
An alarm trigger must be received on both the zone alarm input and the zone
AND input for the Digital Sprite 2 to initiate the alarm actions. The allocated
alarm trigger can be any of these options; Aux, Module 1, VMD, Presets,
System.
Zone NOT Input
The Digital Sprite 2 will only issue the alarm actions if the trigger is received on
the zone alarm input and not
on the Zone NOT input. The allocated alarm
trigger can be any of these options; Aux, Module 1, VMD, Presets, System.
Notes on Zone Alarm Input, OR, AND, NOT Inputs
The following example shows how the Digital Sprite 2 uses the OR, AND and
NOT settings when all three parameters are configured:
Example
With the functions set to the following alarm inputs:
Base Input (Alarm Input) = Aux contact 1
OR input = Aux contact 2
AND input = Aux contact 3
NOT input = Aux contact 4
Result = [(Alarm1 OR Alarm 2) AND Alarm 3] NOT Alarm 4
The Digital Sprite 2 places a ‘marker in the regular recording that acts as the
start of the pre-alarm recording, the number of images available will be
dependant on the pre-alarm time set.
Note: If recording is not enabled there may not be any images on the disk. If
pre-alarm recording is required, ensure recording is enabled.
Alarm Duration
This is the minimum time period in seconds from the start of the alarm that will
be protected from being overwritten. This time will include the alarm trigger, the
pulse extension and any post alarm recording (if applicable). This does not
include the pre-alarm images.
Zone Alarm Input
This determines what input or system function will trigger the zone alarm. The
options available are:
No Contact - Default setting.
Presets - When an alarm is triggered and a camera is sent to a preset
position. It is possible to use this to trigger a zone alarm input. This is
used in conjunction with the Alarms and Presets menu.
VMD - If a camera has been configured for VMD or activity, it is possible to
use this to trigger an alarm zone. This is used in conjunction with ‘Activity
Camera Setup’.
