When an alarm sounds, the camera performs output
functions depending on the setup.
Inputs:
• The alarm sensor connected to the ALARM IN termi-
nal on the camera
• The built-in VMD (Video Motion Detector) that
detects a motion in video by monitoring the speci-
fied area
Outputs:
•“Alarm” display appears in the upper center of the
main page.
• The picture files as an alarm sounds are stored in
the camera.
• An E-mail notifies the specified addresses of the
alarm activation with or without a picture file.
• The stored picture files are sent to the FTP server.
• The ALARM OUT terminal on the camera becomes
active.
• The notice of an alarm activation is sent to the server
specified in Panasonic Protocol Setup, using the
Panasonic's original protocol.
■ When an Alarm Arises
•“Alarm” display appears in the upper right corner of
the main page. The alarm status display may delay
for a maximum of half a minute due to its refresh
cycle.
• The pictures as an alarm sounds are stored in the
memories of the camera.
The total storage number of the pictures depends
on three factors: pixel numbers, picture quality, and
the number of pre-alarm storage. The existing oldest
data will be replaced with new picture data when
the data volume exceeds over the memory capacity.
The tables below give guidelines of the available
picture numbers for the post-alarm storage.
