40 Video Multiplexer with Video Motion Detection
Tape Mode Live Alarm Response
When a mechanical and/or motion alarm occurs in the tape mode,
the multiplexer processes the event in the background. If two
VCRs are connected, it records the alarm event on videotape but
does not indicate the alarm to the user. This allows alarm recording
during tape playback. See Simultaneous Record and Play.
When the multiplexer detects the initial live alarm in tape mode, it
does the following:
1. Toggles the alarm relay.
2. Activates the alarm output (only motion alarms unless PASS-
THRU EXTRNL ALRMS is YES).
3. Switches to the VCR ALARM RECORD TIME encoding rate.
4. Encodes the camera as alarm and sends it to the VCR on a
priority basis.
The multiplexer remains in the alarm state until ALL of the
following occur:
 All mechanical alarms are released.
 No motion detected at cameras set for motion alarms.
 The ALARM DURATION time elapses.
 The alarm hold input is released.
Multiple alarms are processed in the order they occur.
