Figure 88. Definitions – Cameras screen
The Definitions – Cameras screen can be split into
an upper and lower screen.
• The upper screen shows existing camera
definitions and allows you to add new definitions.
All of the fields can be edited except the
Dome/PTZ Connection and Dome/PTZ Address,
which are read-only fields. The Dome/PTZ
Connection field displays codes identifying the
connection type: M for Manchester, S for
SensorNet, and R for RS-232/ RS-485. This field
is also highlighted in red if the connection is
configured to go out the ADDL. The Dome/PTZ
Address shows the address configured for the
dome.
The Calling Contacts and Salvo Contacts fields
only display a range value until selected for edit.
• The lower screen only appears when either the
Calling Contacts field or Salvo Callups field is
selected, and provides a tab that allows you to do
the following:
− Calling Contacts – View and edit alarm
contacts associated to call a camera. See
Adding and Deleting Calling Contacts to
Cameras on page
44.
− Salvo Callups – View and edit Salvo call-ups
associated with selected cameras. See
Associating Salvo Callups to Cameras on
page
45.
Adding Camera Definitions
You can create and edit camera definitions.
1. To add new camera definitions, click Add on the
right side of the screen. The Add Cameras dialog
box appears.
Figure 89. Add Cameras dialog
2. Complete the following fields:
• Number of Cameras – Enter the number of
cameras you want to define. The system will
number these cameras consecutively starting
with the next highest available number.
Camera numbers identify the video input
connection number on the switcher.
Note: If multiple cameras are defined at the
same time, they share the same video loss
detection, site, output, pan/tilt, alarm number,
and location. You can edit each camera’s
definition after they have been created.
• Pseudo Number – Pseudo numbers are
unique identifiers you can give cameras to help
identify their location or purpose. For example,
you could number the cameras on the first floor
of a building starting with 1000, such as: 1001,
1002, 1003, etc. You could use 2000 for
second floor cameras, 3000 for third floor
cameras and so on.
The pseudo number is assigned starting with
the first camera you specify and is incremented
by 1 for each additional camera specified.
