Advanced Alarm Rule Example using AutoTrack
This example explains how to set an alarm rule that moves the camera to a preset position
and then activates the AutoTrack feature to track an intruder after an alarm is triggered.
1. Open the IP AutoDome Livepage, then click the Settings tab.
2. Click the Camera Settings link, click Alarm, then click Output Options.
3. Click Output Option 5 under the Output Options group.
4. Select Tracking from the Type drop-down list.
5. Click Output Option 6.
6. Select Shot from the Type drop-down list.
7. Type the number 1 or use the slide bar to specify shot number 1. (Shot numbers must be
set prior to configuring an alarm rule. See Section 8.7.3 Controlling Camera Operations,
Page 59, for instructions).
The AutoDome moves to this preposition when the alarm rule is true.
8. Click Alarm Rule link and then click Alarm Rule 1.
9. Click the Yes radio button to enable the rule.
10. Use the slider bar to select 1 for the Input option.
11. Select Alarm Input 1 from the Input Option drop-down list.
12. Ensure that the Output number is set to 1.
13. Select 6: Shot 1 from the Output Options drop-down list.
This option instructs the AutoDome to move to pre-position shot 1 when Input 1 is true.
14. Move the Output slider bar to output 2.
15. Select 5:Tracking from the Output Option drop-down list.
This option instructs the AutoDome to activate the AutoTrack feature after the input
alarm is triggered and after the AutoDome moves to pre-position 1.
16. Select 5 sec from the Output Period drop-down list.
This option instructs the AutoDome to turn off the AutoTrack feature after five seconds
from when the tracked object is out of view.
