Example 2: Advanced Alarm Rule
Scenario: A MIC-550 located at an airport is set to AutoPan Between Limits from the parking
garage to the airport terminal. The gate entering the airport has an alarm contact connected
to the MIC-550, and the perimeter fence in the area of the gate has an infrared (IR) sensor for
motion detection (motion detector) that is connected to the MIC-550.
When the alarms for the gate contact and the motion detector are activated at the same time,
we want the alarm rule to:
1. Flash an OSD message (***ALARM 2***) on the monitor.
2. Stop the AutoPan and move the camera to a saved position (Shot 5) viewing the fence.
3. Transmit a Bilinx signal to the head end system to trigger an alarm response.
The sequence to program this alarm rule example is as follows:
1. Wire and set the alarm Input(s).
a. Wire the motion detector to Input 1. (This circuit is normally open.)
b. Wire the gate alarm contact to Input 5. (This circuit is normally closed.)
2. From the Inputs Setup menu:
a. Ensure that Input 1 (the motion detector) is set to N.O. (This setting is the default
for Input 1.)
b. Ensure that Input 5 (the gate contact) is set to N.C.
3. Set the alarm Outputs from the Outputs Setup menu:
a. Set Output 5 to OSD.
b. Set Output 6 to Transmit.
c. Set Output 7 to Shot 5.
4. Set up the Alarm Rule by selecting the Inputs and Outputs from the Rule Setup menu:
a. Select Rule 2.
b. Set the first input to Alarm Input 1 (the motion detector).
c. Set the second input to Alarm Input 5 (the gate alarm contact).
d. Set the first output to OSD.
e. Set the second output to Shot5 viewing the fence.
f. Set the third output to Transmit (a Bilinx signal to the headend).
5. Enable the Alarm Rule: Highlight Enabled and select YES.
10.2 Privacy Masking
Privacy Masking is used to block out a specific area of a scene from being viewed. Mask
choices include black, white, or blurred, and can be configured with three, four, or five
corners to cover more complex shapes.
– To configure a Privacy Mask, open the Main menu, select Display Setup, and then select
Privacy Mask. Alternatively, enter the keyboard command ON-87-ENTER. To setup a
privacy mask, follow the on-screen menu instructions.
– In Pelco Mode, open the Pelco Main menu, open the Bosch menu, select the Display
Setup menu, and then select Privacy Masking. To setup a privacy mask, follow the on-
screen menu instructions.
NOTICE!
– Draw the mask 10% larger than the object to ensure that the mask completely covers the
object as the MIC-550 zooms in and out.
– When the camera is canted, privacy masks are most accurate when programmed within a
tilt region of +50° (up) to -60° (down) from the horizontal axis. Masks drawn near these
limits should be oversized by approximately 20% in order to ensure continuous coverage
during P/T operations. Accuracy of masks drawn outside these limits cannot be
guaranteed.
