These events are:– an alarm input signal applied to the unit– motion detection in a camera signal– a loss of video from one of the cameras– an internal alert from the unit itself (i.e. disk failure, temperature alarm)The way the unit reacts to events depends on how it is programmed.An event can cause either a trigger or an alarm. A trigger changes the way the unit works butdoes not require a response from the user. An alarm also changes the way the unit works but,in addition, usually activates several indicators and requires the user to acknowledge thealarm situation.The unit reacts to an event in any one of the following ways:Alarms– A beeper sounds.– A status message is displayed.– An alarm icon is displayed.– The border around a cameo changes color to red.– An alarm or video loss indicator flashes.– An output relay is activated.Triggers– A motion indicator flashes.– The view modes on the monitors change.– A controllable camera might be moved to a pre-defined position.– Recording behavior changes.– The unit changes the way it operates via pre-defined profiles.Background eventsTriggers and alarms can change background tasks that a user may not notice. Unit responsesthat are not visible to the user are, for example, a change in recording speed, the activation ofthe output relay, and event logging. The unit can also be configured to record upon theactivation of an alarm input. A trigger may change the way the camera images are displayed onthe monitors without requiring intervention.5.11.1 Alarm inputsIf an input causes an alarm– Monitors A and B can switch to a pre-programmed view mode.– Monitor A: The border around the displayed cameos is red.
