Event function
The recorder will take an event action when any of the following events occur.
• Terminal alarm: Regarded as an event when an alarm input signal is supplied from an external device such
as a door sensor to the alarm input terminal on the rear of the recorder.
• Video Motion Detection (VMD): Regard as an event when a motion is detected in images by the video
motion detection function. (See below about the VMD function.)
• Video loss: Regard as an event when the video input signal is lost, such as by the camera cable disconnec-
tion, malfunction of the camera, etc.
• i-VMD camera alarm: Regarded as an event when an alarm (motion detection, object appearance/disap-
pearance, etc.) is detected by the SD5Link camera.
• Camera site alarm: Regarded as an event when an alarm (motion detection, etc.) is detected by a camera.
• Command alarm: Regarded as an alarm when receiving an alarm from a PC, etc. via a network.
Note:
• Video Motion Detection (VMD) function
When a motion (luminance change) is detected in the specified area (detection area), the recorder will regard
this as an alarm detection.
Refer to the Installation Guide for the settings required to use the video motion detection function.
• When the recorder is just after rebooted, an alarm detected by an SD5Link camera may sometimes be dis-
played as a camera site alarm. In a similar way, an alarm detected by an SD5Link camera connected to the
encoder (WJ-MP204C) may be displayed as a command alarm.
• Cameras will provide a notification only when an alarm input is detected. Therefore, the recorder will not dis-
play an alarm occurrence indication when the recorder is booted while an alarm input is being supplied.
Event action
When an event occurs and the recorder detects the event occurrence, the recorder will take the event action
according to the settings configured in advance.
The event action mode can be selected from the alarm mode (ALM), activity detection mode (ADM) and Off.
(☞ Installation Guide)
Refer to a system administrator for further information. A different event action will be taken depending on the
selected event action mode.
When selecting the alarm mode (ALM), the recorder will take an alarm action.
Event action mode
• Alarm mode (ALM)
When the alarm mode (ALM) is selected, notification of an event occurrence will be provided to outside the
system. In this manual, event actions to be taken in the alarm mode are called "alarm action".
• Activity detection mode (ADM)
When the activity detection mode (ADM) is selected, only recording and indication of an alarm occurrence
will be performed at an event occurrence. No notification of event occurrence will be provided to any exter-
nal device in the activity detection mode (ADM).
• Off
Only filing logs of event occurrences will be performed. No other event action will be taken.
