How to set a guard alarm zone
The equipment then searches for targets inside the guard zone to determine guard alarm
type. If a target is found inside the guard zone, the guard zone type becomes an “Outward
guard alarm,” and any target exiting the guard zone will trigger the audio alarm. If no target
is found, the guard zone type becomes an “Inward guard alarm,” and any targets entering
the guard zone will trigger the audio alarm. The guard alarm type is shown as G1(G2) IN or
G1(G2) OUT.
