Timelapse Record Rate

The unit records at the Timelapse Record Rate under normal conditions, when there are no alarms, events, or activity present. Record rates are measured in Pictures Per Second (pps).

0150-0257A 26 Kalatel DVMRe-4L

Activity Record Rate

The unit will record at the Activity Record Rate when the camera is in normal Timelapse Record Mode and activity is detected in the camera scene. Activity should not be linked to Event, in which case the Event Record Rate will be used. Record rates are measured in Pictures Per Second (pps).

Event Record Rate

The unit will record at the Event Record Rate when an Event is activated. Events can be activated by activity detection. Record rates are measured in Pictures Per Second (pps).

Global Alarm Record Rate

During an alarm, the unit records at the alarm record rate. The configuration of the Alarm Record Rate is closely associated with the Alarm Record Mode. For detailed information about configuring the Alarm Record Mode, see Alarm Record mode in the next section.

Disk Duration Calculator

The bottom of the menu contains a disk duration calculator. The duration indicates the estimated recording time, taking into consideration the estimated amount of time the unit will spend in Time-lapse, Activity, Event, and/or Alarm record mode.

The maximum record rate per camera is inversely proportional to the number of cameras

NOTE

connected to the unit. The fewer cameras connected, the higher the maximum record rate for each camera, and vice versa. The maximum record rate for multiple cameras is 30pps.

q Main Menu → Record → Alarm/Event Actions

Pre Event Duration: The unit will record up to 5 seconds of data ahead of the event trigger, at the

Event Record Rate. Select from 0 to 5 seconds. Post Event Duration: The unit will record up to 250 seconds after the completion of the Event, at the

Event Record Rate. Select from 0 to 250 seconds.

3.17 The Operator Menu

The Operator Menu Overview

The Operator menu is provided so that the user has access to a limited number of menu items. These menu items are primarily monitor display setup options, so that the user may “personalize” the monitor displays during their shifts. Other options include alarm history and changing the operator password.

None of the items are unique to the Operator menu. All items located in the Operator menu are also found in the Main menu.

7.2 Configuration and Status

i) Data structure

Byte 1: 0xFF Byte 2: Command Type

0xAA: (SET) Update DVMRe with data.

0xBB: (GET) Extract data from DVMRe. Byte 3: Data Length (n) Byte 4: Data Type

0x61: Restart DVMRe

0xFE: Send configuration data to DVMRe 0x09: Read Alarm History from DVMRe 0xFF: Read configuration and status data

from DVMRe Byte 5: Data byte 1 Byte 6: Data byte 2 : : Byte x: Data byte n

ii) Sending data to the DVMRe

a) Restart DVMRe-4L

This command will restart the DVMRe-4L.

Byte 1: 0xFF Byte 2: 0xAA Byte 3: 0 Byte 4: 0x61

b) Send data to DVMRe-4L

Configuration data can be sent to the DVMRe4L, to change the way it operates. The data is arranged in the form of 16 byte blocks, numbered from 1 to 213. Blocks 182, 183 and 185 are status blocks, and hence cannot be written to. For details about the contents of each block, contact GE-Interlogix and request the Block Data Structure for the DVMRe-4L.

Byte 1: 0xFF Byte 2: 0xAA Byte 3: 17 Byte 4: 0xFE Byte 5: Block Number

(1-181, 184, 186-200)

Byte 6: data[0] : : : : Byte 21:data[15]

After sending a block or series of blocks, block number 255 must be updated to signal the end of the configuration session. All data bytes for block 255 must be set to 0.

iii) Requesting data from the DVMRe

When a message of type 0xBB is sent to the DVMRe-4L, it will respond by sending 16 bytes of requested data.

a) Read Alarm History List

Byte 1: 0xFF

Byte 2: 0xBB Byte 3: 0 Byte 4: 0x09

When the "Read Alarm History List" message is received by the DVMRe-4L, it responds by sending a start byte 0xFF, followed by ASCII strings for every alarm event in its alarm history list, and a stop byte, 0xFF. Each string is formatted as follows:

dd.bmm/ddbhh:mm:ssbaa<CR><LF>

dd: index number (00 - 99) b: space character mm: month (01-12) dd: day (01-31) hh: hours (00-23) mm: minutes (00-59) ss: seconds (00-59) aa: alarm number (01-16) <CR> Carriage return (0x0D) <LF> Line feed (0x0A)

Example: 03. 11/27 22:48:58 15

b) Read data from DVMRe-4L

Configuration and status data can be read from the DVMRe-4L. The data is arranged in the form of 16 byte blocks, numbered from 1 to 213. For details about the contents of each block, contact GE-Interlogix and request the Block Data Structure for the DVMRe-4L.

Byte 1: 0xFF Byte 2: 0xBB Byte 3: 1 Byte 4: 0xFF Byte 5: Block Number 1-213 or 255 if all

blocks are requested.

The DVMRe-4L responds to the “Read data” request by sending all the requested data bytes consecutively, without any start or stop bytes.

A total of either 16 bytes or 3408 bytes will be transmitted, depending on whether a single block or all the blocks were requested.
