3.2.5 Monitoring the camera focus

The focus on each individual camera can change from time to time. This can have a negative
effect on monitoring quality.

If the current value differs significantly
from the initial set value, then the system
is able to detect this and notify the system
operator when required.

This function can be activated on each
camera in the “Sensor system” area in the
system configuration on the camera
configuration page (does not apply to
ABUS VMS Basic). The Focus box must
be checked and the changes must then be
saved.

In order for the system to be able to send messages in the event of differing camera focus, the
Camera lost focus alarm detector must be activated in the system configuration.

To do this, switch the view switch to Digital
I/O
(point 2), then open the Detector/Key
switch
menu point from the list on the left-
hand side. Select Virtual detector and
activate detector 10 (camera lost focus).

Save the settings, then link the detector to
a process (see point 3.4.9 on page 98).

Note:

Only cameras with activated “Focus” checkboxes can trigger an alarm over the virtual alarm
detector.
