Auto pan/patrol controller: These buttons provides pan and patrol functions provided that
preset locations have been congured on the camera. For a speed dome camera, the pan
command tells the camera to continuously pan 360 degrees until it is stopped by a user
command. For PZ or PT series cameras, the pan action only takes place once to cover
reachable areas.
The Stop button ends a pan or patrol tour.
4-2-7. Alarm panel
To receive alarms from cameras, you need to congure alarm triggers in the Settings > Alarm
conguration window (see page 149). Network cameras' digital inputs, digital outputs, or motion
detection can all be used to detect conditions in external environments. When the alarms are
triggered, you can congure certain kind of actions to take place in response to the alarms, such
as:
1. recording the immediate image,
2. sending an Email,
3. sounding the buzzer,
4, sending snapshots to an FTP server,
5. sending event messages to web server,
6. moving camera lens to a preset location,
7. triggering a camera digital output.
The alarm panel displays the latest 10 alarm
entries with the latest alarm on top of the list.
The alarm list keeps up to 200 events. Older
events will be erased if the number exceeds
200.
The alarm panel is polled every 10 seconds. A mouse hover on an alarm entry displays full
information of the event.
Note that multiple alarms can be triggered by one incident. See page 149 for how to congure
the alarm settings.
