ALARM CONTROL FUNCTION The alarm function activates the warning alarm status, when an externally connected alarm sensor is turned on, or an installed Video Motion Detector (optional) is activated. The Disk Recorder activates the recording alarm status within the specified recording mode; it also activates the status display, such as the ALARM indicator, monitor display and alarm buzzer, to indicate that an alarm signal has been received. Described below is an example of an alarm status activation. For further details related to the recording of images during an alarm, refer to chapter "Alarm Recording". s Alarm Input The Disk recorder can handle the following alarms. • Interface Alarm Alarm received from the ALARM port on the rear of the Disk Recorder. • Video Input Signal Loss Alarm Alarm indicating that a camera video signal loss has occurred. "CH✽✽LOSS" is displayed on the monitor screen. • Motion Detector Alarm Alarm that the Disk Recorder detects a motion on the video image when the Video Motion Detector (optional) board is installed. s Alarm Operation When an alarm signal is received, the Disk recorder, Spot Output and Multiscreen Output of the Disk Recorder are activated as shown below. Refer to the ALARM SETUP menu of the WJ-HD500 SETUP menu for further settings. q Front Panel Display When an alarm function is activated, the ALARM indicator and corresponding camera input button (1 to 16) blink. After the programmed time has elapsed, the indicator changes to a steady light.
