Nubix/ AVC760 call monitor question

[Jim Barrett 0]

Good Day Folks,

 

The Nubix4ST/AVC760A call monitor output sequences the cameras. Is there a way to slave that monitor to a channel via the I/O port?

As we know, the documentation is sometimes confusing and I thought that activating the alarm function for, say, chan 1 would cause the call monitor to start recording, sound the alert, and pull up the camera. If the device is already in record should it not sound the alert & call up the screen? I activated the alarm function via the DETECTION SETUP menu, got the alert but no break in the squencing. Am I confused? Am I missing something?

I bet Scorpion could help! Anyone else?

 

Also, I've made this DVR work in a standard wired network w/ Dydns via RoadRunner broadband. Any pitfalls using AT&T DSL? Do I remember somebody saying that unlike w/ my broadband modem which lets me go out & back in on the same connection DSL might not let me do that? Pretty hard to check your setup unless you had an assistant off site that could check the connection.

Thoughts & advice are greatly appreciated.

I do not know much about the call monitor sequence.

 

I would assume the same as you!

 

The manual says this:

 

When any alarm is triggered, CALL monitor will show the image of the triggered channel for a period of time

 

Does the alarm icon show on screen?

 

Is the alarm set to off, or N.O. or N.C. in the Detection Menu?

 

 

There are no pitfalls using ATT DSL. It is a lot of fun setting up the modem for a static IP!

Take care!

Yep, I guess they're right, sorta.

 

The DVR goes into alarm, the sequence pops over to the alarmed channel and then starts to sequence again. Reinitializing the alarm brings it back to the alarmed channel but then the sequencing picks up where it left off. The duration of the alarm setting appears to have no effect on the length of time the alarmed channel picture is held.

 

Oh well, if that's the way it works, that's the way it works. Better to know than to not know.

 

Thanks for the input.

You might be able to change the time period for the sequence. If you make it longer perhaps it will stay on the alarmed channel longer before it sequences again (at a slower rate).

I can't find a way to change the sequence interval, only the alarm duration & the alarm duration seems to have no affect on the sequencing.

Are you using motion detection too? It may be sequencing the motion channels as well. I thought that when there was an alarm it would sequence only the alarm channels, but that would the external alarm channels AND internal motion channels.

Nope, not using motion detection. Sequencing appears not to be related to any other settings. It sequences, on it's own timing, all four channels, all the time. If an external alarm appears it pops up the alarmed channel briefly and then starts sequencing again. If the external alarm is constant or is reinitialized the channel pops up and then starts sequencing again.

If you extend the alarm duration the alarm light on the front panel stays lit (up to 40 secs) but that has no effect on the length the alarmed channel stays displayed.
