The alarm function activates the warning alarm status, when
an externally connected alarm sensor is turned on, or an
installed Video Motion Detector (optional) is activated.
The Disk Recorder activates the recording alarm status
within the specified recording mode; it also activates the
status display, such as the ALARM indicator, monitor dis-
play and alarm buzzer, to indicate that an alarm signal has
been received.
Described below is an example of an alarm status activa-
tion.
For further details related to the recording of images during
an alarm, refer to chapter "Alarm Recording".

The Disk recorder can handle the following alarms.

● Front Panel Display
When an alarm function is activated, the ALARM indicator
and corresponding camera input button (1 to 16) blink.
After the programmed time has elapsed, the indicator
