When the unit internal video sensor send a trigger, it will be
output at the SENSOR ALARM OUT terminals. By connecting
indicator lamps switching circuits to theses connectors (Fig. 1),
an indication can be generated when the video sensors send a
trigger.

For example, the video sensor alarm indicator lamps could be
laid out on a factory floor plan to give accurate indication of
trigger location. The terminals are normally open (NO). A trigger
at the video sensor for one of the cameras, will switch the signal
to LOW.

ALARMS OPERATIONS

VIDEO LOSSVIDEO LOSSVIDEO LOSS

LIVE PICTURES MODE ALARM

There are three types of live pictures alarms; the alarms set by an external alarm trigger, the alarms set by a loss of the video signal
and the alarms set by the video sensors.

EXTERNAL ALARMS

Connect external inputs such as a door bell, an interphone, etc.,
to the ALARM IN terminals (1 – 9). These external switches will
send triggers to the alarm inputs and the alarm display will be
shown in live pictures mode.

Example: If an alarm trigger is received for camera 4

(in multi-display screen)

1 The buzzer is heard and the camera 4 indicator light.

The alarm output changes from HI (5V) to LOW (0V).
The alarm duration and the buzzer mode (ON/OFF) are set

in the (ALARM SET) menu (see page 28).

2 The image from camera 4 and the camera number (04)

will be displayed on monitor, EA (External Alarm) will
flash at the left of the camera number.

If in the (MONITOR SET) menu, MULTI MODE is set to

•

ON, you can set the alarm display mode in the (ALARM
SET) menu (see page 28).

If in the (MONITOR SET) menu, MULTI MODE is set to

•

OFF, the camera pictures corresponding to the alarm
channel trigger input will be displayed full screen.
If multiple alarms are received at the same time, the
alarm channels are displayed sequentially in order, for
about 1 second each.

VIDEO LOSS ALARM

If there is an interruption of the video signal, the buzzer is heard,
and the image just previous to the interruption is frozen
on-screen or test chart are displayed and “VIDEO LOSS” will
flash on-screen.

The action taken will depend on the settings entered in the
(VIDEO LOSS SET) menu (see page 30).

VIDEO LOSS

VIDEO LOSSVIDEO LOSS

(Test chart)

NOTE:

If a video signal is not present from the beginning, then “NO

•

VIDEO” will be displayed on a gray screen. However, while
the power supply is disconnected, signal connections are
memorised and interruptions of video signal will trigger an
alarm when the power supply is reestablished.

During video loss alarm a frozen image or test chart are

•

displayed on-screen. However, on the video tape, test chart
are recorded until the alarm is reset or the video signal is
restored.

Even if the video loss is set to a frozen image, test chart will

•

be displayed when the screen display is switched, or during
sequential display.

EA 04

External alarm Camera number

NOTE:

When the alarm operation is over, the display will return to the

•

mode preceding the alarm trigger.
An alarm trigger can also be received at a terminal for which

•

a camera is not connected to. In such a case, a grey screen
will be displayed and EA (External Alarm) and the
corresponding number will be displayed.

Resetting the Alarm

For an alarm in full screen display mode, press the

•

corresponding SELECT button.
For an alarm in multi-display screen mode, press the

•

corresponding SELECT button to switch to full screen display
mode, then press the same SELECT button one more time.

NOTE:

The alarm display mode on monitor is selected according to

•

the settings entered in the (ALARM SET) menu.
During normal monitoring operations the camera select

•

indicator lights according to the displayed camera. If there is
an alarm trigger for another camera, the indicator will flash.

Resetting the Alarm

For an alarm in full screen display mode, press the

•

corresponding SELECT button, “NO VIDEO” will be displayed
on a grey screen.

For an alarm in multi-display screen mode, press the

•

corresponding SELECT button to switch to full screen display
mode. Then, press the same SELECT button one more time
and “NO VIDEO” will be displayed, on a grey screen, on the
monitor screen.

NOTE:

The alarm display mode on monitor is selected according to

•

the settings entered in the (ALARM SET) menu.
During normal monitoring operations the camera select

•

indicator lights according to the displayed camera. If there is
an alarm trigger for another camera, the indicator will flash.

If the alarm is not reset, “VIDEO LOSS” will be displayed until

•

normal live picture signals are restored. If the display mode is
changed it will switch from a frozen picture to test chart.

ALARMS OPERATIONS

VIDEO SENSOR ALARM

When in the (SENSOR SET) menu, the “SENSOR ALARM” item
is set to “ON” or “AND”, a moving subject detected by the video
sensor in the selected area of the image can trigger an alarm.

Example: If movement is detected at camera 4 (in

multi-display screen)

1 The buzzer is heard and the SELECT 4 indicator flashes.

That particular alarm output changes from OPEN to LOW
(0V).

The alarm duration and the buzzer mode (ON/OFF) are set
in the (ALARM SET) menu (see page 28).

2 The image from camera 4 and the camera number (04)

will be displayed on monitor, and SA (Sensor Alarm)
will flash at the left of the camera number.

If in the (MONITOR SET) menu, MULTI MODE is set to

•

ON, active recording is not possible.
If in the (MONITOR SET) menu, MULTI MODE is set to

•

OFF, the recording mode can be set in the (ACTIVE
REC SET) menu (see page 30).

RECORDED PICTURES MODE ALARM

In VCR playback mode, only the alarms recorded on tape are
available.

Alarms recorded on tape

When a tape with recorded alarm triggers is played back, this
unit will trigger an alarm, and the alarm display will appear on the
concerned camera picture, but the alarm operation will not be
activated as for live pictures mode alarms.

NOTE: In VCR playback mode, if there is an external alarm or a

sensor alarm trigger, the corresponding camera
SELECT indicator will flash and the buzzer will be heard
(if BUZZER is set to ON, see page 28).

SA 04

Sensor alarm Camera number

Resetting the Alarm

For an alarm in full screen display mode, press the

•

corresponding SELECT button during the alarm operation.
For an alarm in multi-display screen mode, press the

•

corresponding SELECT button to switch to full screen display
mode, then press the same SELECT button one more time.
