Global Alarm It is possible to congure any of the onboard or additional module

relays to be the default global alarm relay, this means that the

relay will close when an alarm is received on any of the alarm

inputs.

Global VMD It is possible to congure any of the onboard or additional module

relays to be the default global VMD relay, this means that the

relay will close when VMD is identied on any of the camera

inputs.

Global Camera Fail It is possible to congure any of the onboard or additional module

relays to be the default global camera fail relay, this means that

the relay will close when there is notication on the system that

any of the enabled video inputs has camera failure (no 1V pk-to-

pk signal).

Schedule Notication The schedule notication relay will identify when the unit has

switched out of Day mode operation (i.e. when switching to Night

or Weekend mode). It is possible to congure any of the onboard

or additional module relays as the Schedule Notication relay.

Primary Signalling Failure The unit can transmit an alarm to a central station via a primary

route, if for any reason the alarm is unable to send this message

via this route the corresponding relay will close. It is possible to

select any of the onboard or additional module relays.

Weekend Notication The unit will close the corresponding relay when the unit switches

to weekend mode operation.

How to Congure Connect/ Dial, FTP, SMS and E-mail on Alarm

As described in the Alarm Zone section above there are a number of actions that can be initiated

when the unit is in receipt of an alarm trigger.

For these actions to operate correctly there are additional conguration requirements; FTP server

address, SMS / GSM settings and SMTP Server address. Without this information the unit would not

have a route to transmit images on receipt of an alarm or notication of VMD. This section will be

separated into the conguration processes required to enable these functions to operate.

How to Congure Connect/Dial on Alarm

It is possible to force the unit to transmit a message to an allocated Viewer on receipt of an alarm.

This connection can be via the Ethernet port of the unit or via a dial up connection on the serial port

of the unit.

The message will be transmitted to the remote station to notify them of an alarm on the system. The

operator can then make a connection to the unit to verify and action the alarm response.

There are two modes of conguration depending on the route of the alarm message. For Ethernet

the system can be congured wholly using the web interface pages, when using the modem link,

also referred to as PPP (Point to Point Protocol) then it is necessary to edit the ‘prole’ le within the

\etc directory of the unit.

At this stage it is presumed that the unit; is installed with a modem connected to a serial port and/or

is connected to the Ethernet network and has been allocated an IP address but the serial port has

not been enabled for PPP.
