Alarm Zone

This page is used to configure the alarm operation on the DV-IP.

Alarm image protect period - Protect alarm images from being overwritten. Images will

become unprotected automatically after the period defined, and will be overwritten.

Select Alarm Zone – An alarm zone is a virtual ‘zone’ defined by the user. Within each

Alarm Zone, any number of cameras can be influenced by the Zone Alarm Input – their

recording rates can be increased on alarm event etc… e.g. If Zone 1 contains Alarm Input 1,

and cameras 1,2 and 3 are highlighted as zone members, then each time Contact 1 is

triggered, cameras 1,2 and 3 are affected by the on-alarm variables defined.

Zone Title - 30 character user definable titles linked to the each zone.

Pre-Alarm time - Defined in seconds – The pre-alarm time is the period before the alarm is

triggered when the DV-IP records footage to be viewed with the alarm event.

Alarm Duration – This defines how many seconds of the alarm sequence (including Pre-

Alarm) are to be write protected.

Zone Alarm Input – The primary alarm input associated with a zone. The Zone Alarm Input

can be used with the Zone AND Input and/or the Zone NOT Input.

Note – VMD can also be designated as Alarm Inputs – Alarm, AND or NOT. This is achieved

by selecting one of V1 to V16 in the pulldown menu. This allows VMD activity to cause the

same results as the triggering of a contact alarm.

Zone AND Input - User definable double-knock option. Only if the Zone Alarm Input and

the Zone AND Input both receive a trigger will the DV-IP go into alarm.
