Advanced Configuration
Alarm Source
When the source of alarms are internal, for example, from Video Analytics or GPIO Input, the Alarm
Source Server IP Address is set to the localhost value of 127.0.0.1 and the TCP port is the default
1001. For internal alarms, the FC-Series camera Alarm Source Device ID is set to 0.
The Alarm Source Device Type is chosen from a pull down
menu; not all options are available for a specific camera or
installation.
When the alarm source is Video Analytics the Alarm ID
corresponds to the area or tripwire (1-8), as configured in the
Setup menu. The Alarm ID is set sequentially during the
setup for each alarm source. Refer to Analytics Page—FC-
Series ID only, pg. 50.
When the alarm source is from the GPIO Input the Alarm ID
is changed to the Input ID and is set to 1 (recall the output is IO 0 and the input is IO 1).
Alarm Actions
Just as there can be multiple sources of alarms,
there are also a variety of actions or responses
to these alarms. Some actions are only used
with pan/tilt cameras. Actions such as Point,
Load ScanList, Go To Preset, and Engage
Radar Track would only be used with a pan/tilt
camera and are not used with the FC-Series
fixed camera.
For the FC-Series ID, typically a rule will be configured to
Send a Notification, Capture an Image, Arm/Disarm
Analytics, or generate an Output on the GPIO device. If
more than one action is needed, it is necessary to configure
multiple rules. Examples of these actions are provided
below.
When the Alarm Action is set to Send Notification, a
Notification List must be selected. The Send Notification
action uses a Msg System and a Notification List that are set
up in the Services menu (refer to Msg Systems Page, pg.
32).
To attach a snapshot, select the option All Non Radiometric
to send a normal JPEG image from the Attach Image File
pull down list. Radiometric (a special type of JPEG with
temperature data) is not available on the FC-Series ID
camera.
