DS2

Zone on Exit Route

This feature is similar to the zone on entry option, but works in the reverse, this allocates an exit

route from the keyswitch to the exit allowing an operator to enable the alarm system for the premises

and allow them to pass through the specied alarm areas without triggering the alarm, in compliance

with BS8418, the British Standard for remote monitoring stations. Diversion from the exit route will

result in an alarm being triggered immediately. This feature is only available when Advanced Alarms

are enabled.

Entry Initiator

This is part of the Advanced Alarm Features and when activated will trigger the entry timer. This is

the count down timer that will automatically start when the entry initiator is triggered (e.g. front door)

and works in conjunction with the entry route to ensure the alarm system is not activated by other

alarm triggers on the entry route for this set time.

Exit Terminator

Once the keyswitch is switched on the alarm system will wait for the exit timer to expire to ensure

everyone has exited the building via the exit routes. This timer can be terminated earlier by

triggering an exit terminator, e.g. closing the front door

Change Record Rate

This allows the record rate to be switched to the alarm rate when the zone is active.

The options available are:

• Standard - switches cameras enabled for standard recording to the alarm record rate.

• Variable - switches cameras enabled for variable recording to the alarm record rate.

• Both - applies to both the variable and standard recording of the selected camera.

Note:

When Both is selected the record rates set in the standard and variable record menus will

be added, i.e. if standard is set to 6PPS for 6 cameras (1PPS per camera) and the variable

is set to 3PPS, then that camera will record at 4PPS.

Create Database Entry

An alarm entry will be added to the event database. The zone title will be used as part of the entry

information.

Connect on Alarm

The unit will automatically connect to the remote alarm monitoring station. This features is useful in

applications where remote monitoring of multiple sites is required.

Note:

The remote reporting settings must be congured and the viewing application must be

enabled to receive remote alarm video, for more details refer to the Networking Guide.

Archive Alarms

This will force the unit to automatically download the alarm images via FTP to a central FTP Server

or directly to a local CD.

Tip:

Refer to Archive on Event in the Record Option menu.
