8.12 Alarm Rules
The 300 and 500i Series AutoDome feature a powerful alarm rule engine. In its simplest form,
an alarm rule can define which input(s) activate which output(s). Basically, an alarm rule
allows you to customize an AutoDome to automatically respond to different alarm inputs.
In its more complex form, a rule can be programmed to take any combination of input(s) and
keyboard command(s) to perform a dome function. There are numerous combinations of
alarm inputs and outputs that can be programmed into 12 alarm rules.
