SimUnit relays:
SimUnit relays are used to simulate external relays. Four relays are added to the list when the
SimUnit is activated. These can then be used like normal relays.
The current status of the relays can be seen on the SimUnit interface (see point 3.5.4 on
page 108).
External relays (IP relays,relays):
External relays are listed in this group when an alarm card is installed or an IP camera / video
server with a corresponding interface is connected.
3.5.1 Virtual alarm detectors
Virtual alarm detectors are integrated in the system in order to react to errors in the system or
monitor network interfaces. Virtual alarm detectors are used for a variety of tasks as described
below.
Alarm archive is filled up to ...
This detector is triggered as soon as a set alarm archive is filled to 60% or 100%. This
detector can be used in “BGV-Kassen” mode, for example.
Camera out of order:
This detector is triggered as soon as a camera signal fails. A test picture is then displayed
in the live camera image.
Camera lost focus:
This detector is used for monitoring the camera focus (image sharpness). The detector is
triggered as soon as the image is not in focus or deviates too much from the reference
value. This only applies to set cameras with the activated Reference option (see
point 3.2.5).
