Text-In
• Setup: Configure text-in devices.
• It's possible to batch configure all text-in devices
with the exception for port settings.
• An influx of large amounts of text-in data from
multiple channels can hinder system performance.
• Text-In Product: The setup window is updated so
that the portion below the port setting matches the
corresponding text-in device. Displayed screenshot
illustrates Generic Text settings.
• Transaction Start: Once Transaction Start has
been designated, the system will recognize the
specified string as the beginning of a transaction.
You can choose the Any Character setting. Under
this setting, any character will trigger the system into
recognizing the start of a new transaction.
• Transaction End: Once Transaction End has
been designated, the system will recognize the
specified string as the end of a transaction. Select
0
more line(s) next to Transaction End and specify a
value between 1 and 10. The system will recognize
the specified Transaction End string plus the
number of lines as being the end of a transaction.
• Line Delimiter: Designate a string to mark the end
of a line. You can enter control strings by selecting
and then entering ^, followed by a letter. For
example, Carriage Return is ^M and Line Feed (new
line) is ^J.
• Ignore String: Specify a string to ignore from
transaction records.
• Case Sensitive: Ignores case in strings designated
under
Transaction Start, Transaction End, Line
Delimiter, and Ignore String.
Case Sensitive does not apply to control strings.
• Time Out: Once Time Out has been enabled, the
system will assume the end of a transaction if no
new string is entered within the specified duration of
time. Select between 5 secs and 15 mins.
Selecting RS232, RS485, USB-Serial 1 through 8, or
LAN 1 through 16 as the port activates the Port Setup
button. Select
Setup and configure the Baud Rate,
Data Bit, Stop Bit, and Parity settings.
• If any one of LAN1 through 16 has been selected
as the port, select the Port Setup button and
configure the network port setting.
• If using a USB-serial port, the Text-In feature may
malfunction if the USB cable is removed while the
system is in operation.
• Title: Designate a name for the text-in device.
• Actions: Specify which actions to take when text-in
is detected.
- Record: Specify which cameras to begin linked
recording on when an event occurs. If the
schedule is set to Event or Time & Event mode,
the selected cameras will begin linked recording
when an event occurs.
- Alarm-Out: Designate event-triggered alarm-out
channels and beeps.
- Notify: Configure to be notified of events by
Mail, LAN1 through 5, SNS, Push, and/or Alert
Window.
- PTZ: Moves the PTZ camera to a specific preset
position when an event occurs.
In order to use the Callback feature, the NVR must
be registered on the remote program.
