NOTE:  These settings only apply to how the DX3100 records alarmed channels.

ALARM ACTIVE

Select the start and stop time for this alarm. This setting indicates the activation start and stop time for each day.
The time format is always 24-hour and the default is 0 to 24, that is, midnight to midnight.

ALARM
CONTACT TYPE

Select the type of contact that is connected to the alarm input terminal: N/O (normally open) or N/C (normally
closed). The default is N/O.

RECORD MODE

Set the recording behavior when this alarm is activated. The default is SET.

SET

When the alarm is triggered, the unit records the alarmed channel at the full frame rate for
the number of seconds specified in the RECORD TIME field. The unit ignores any alarm
deactivation.

DURATION

When the alarm is triggered, the unit records the alarmed channel at the full frame rate until
the alarm is deactivated.

Channels that are programmed for alarm recording have precedence over channels that are
not alarmed. When an alarm is triggered, the alarmed channel records at the per-image rate
entered in the RECORDER SETUP menu. If the ips setting is relatively high, the recorded
image rate of the alarmed channel approaches real-time viewing quality. If more than one
alarmed channel is triggered, the ips rate is shared equally among the alarmed channels. All
nonalarmed channel recording is halted for the duration of the alarm.

RECORD TIME

SET only:  Set the alarm record time for alarm activation. This setting ranges from 1 to 99 seconds. The default is
5 seconds.

ALARM RELAY
