Pentax IC-360 - Manual (Page 42)

10) Alarm Configuration
This feature allows the administrator to set parameters that affect the manner in which the triggers
(both internal and external) will cause the VersaCam to respond.
Motion Detection Threshold:
This value is used to set the threshold for
the motion detection function. During
operation with this feature enabled (See
Application Configuration) changes in
the video image are perceived by the
camera as motion and cause E-mail or
FTP files to be sent. The administrator
can determine the level of motion
(amount of variation occurring in the
video image) that will be required to
cause this trigger to occur.
Threshold “0” is the most sensitive state
and “900” is the least sensitive state.
The administrator should gain some experience with motion in the desired frame of reference before
settling on a particular value for this threshold. Note that the motion of leaves on trees, cars on
distant roads, and other transient events must sometimes be taken into account when setting up this
feature.
Alarm Parameters for E-mail / FTP Application:
Here, the administrator defines image-recording conditions that will occur in the event of a trigger of
the three possible sensors. These include motion detection (MD) or external sensors (SID1 and
SID2 Events).
The VersaCam 360 can record between 0 and 2 frames for 1 or 2 seconds before the
event and/or between 0 and 2 frames for 1 or 2 seconds after an event. The maximum
recording rate is 1 frame per second. These are the image frames that will be E-mailed
or transferred by FTP depending on the Application Configuration setup. If the trigger
event lasts longer than 2 seconds, the camera will continue to send non-duplicate images
regardless of any overlap in the time setting.
Alarm Preset
If an external trigger is sensed by the
camera, the camera can be forced to
move to one of the preset monitoring
points by enabling this feature for
one or both of the external inputs.
Such preset positions are configured
in the PTZ Configuration menu. The two external triggers can be associated with
different preset locations if desired.
