Map Sensors

1.        To map the sensors to cameras, simply select Cameras in the Sensor Mapping option.  Click on the grid to place an "O" to mark the sensor-camera mapping.  Once a sensor has been mapped to a camera, this means that when that particular sensor is triggered, such as when a smoke detector detects smoke, the camera which is mapped to that sensor will start to record.  NOTE: You can map one sensor to more than one camera and vice versa. When applied, this means that when a smoke detector or an infrared proximity sensor are triggered, the camera that is mapped to these sensors will start to record.

2.        To map the sensors to relays, simply select Relays in the Sensor Mapping option.  Click on the grid to place a mapping.  Depending on what reset mode is selected in the drop down list menu, the appropriate mark will appear on the grid.  A "T" for time-based reset mode, an "S" for sensor synchronized reset mode or an "X" for manual reset mode.  Once a sensor has been mapped to a relay, this means that when that particular sensor is triggered, such as when a smoke sensor detects smoke, the relay which is mapped to that sensor will either open or close.  NOTE:  You can map one sensor to more than one relay and vice versa.  When applied, this means that when a smoke detector or an infrared proximity sensor are triggered, the relay that is mapped to these sensors will open or close, i.e. light will turn on.

1.        Sensor Mapping – Indicates what sensor mapping is currently displayed; mapping to cameras or relays.  The active mapping is also indicated above the mapping area.

2.        Reset Mode – Indicates the reset mode for sensor-relay mappings.  This is disabled when the sensor mapping is set to cameras.  The reset mode options are Time, Sensor Synchronized and Manual.  Time-based reset mode follows the relay reset time set in the General Event Settings. Sensor synchronized reset mode follows the status of the sensor - if the sensor turns off, then so does the relay.  Manual reset mode means the relay will not reset back to normal unless manually reset.

3.        Normal State – Indicates what the normal state of the sensor is set to.  If the sensor is normally set to ON, then click on the normal state to set it on.

4.        Map Pan/Tilt/Zoom – Indicates if the sensor will be mapped to a PTZ action when it is triggered. If this is unchecked, then the PTZ On, PTZ Off and Dwell Time options are also disabled.

5.        PTZ On – Displays a drop down list menu of available PTZ presets and group runs that can be called when the sensor is triggered.

6.        PTZ Off – Displays a drop down list menu of available PTZ presets and group runs that can be called when the Dwell Time length has been reached.

7.        Dwell Time – Indicates the length in seconds on how long the PTZ will remain in the PTZ On position before going to the PTZ Off position.

8.        Mapping – Indicates the mapping that have been set. For sensor-camera mappings, an "O" signifies that there is a mapping there.  For sensor-relay mappings, a "T" signifies a mapping that has a time-based relay reset mode.  An "S" signifies a mapping that has a sensor-synchronized relay reset mode. An "X" signifies a mapping that has a manual relay reset mode.

9.        Restore Defaults – Restores the default settings.

10.        Apply – Saves the settings.
