5.5.1.8 Alarm Assignment Form
The Alarm Assignment Form is used to define which
cameras and which monitors will be accessed when a
specific alarm is received by the CM8500 System. There
are 32 alarms available for programming. Each alarm
can be defined to appear on any or all monitors avail-
able and also can be defined to call up any available
cameras, including preset positions.
The user also has the ability to program dwell times
(the amount of time the alarm will be present before
allowing next/new incoming alarm). Assigning a dwell
time of zero will cause the alarm to be bypassed.
