Multi Alarm Settings
This section sets up how the MIC reacts to a given alarm input, when Multi Alarm is turned on.
For these options to do anything, the PSU must be either fitted with a Multi Alarm card (8
alarm inputs) or be an IR PSU (4 alarm inputs).
The multi alarm card provides 2 output relays which can be configured to close or open on
given alarm inputs. Relay 1 can be activated from either alarm inputs 1 to 4 or 1 to 8 and
similarly relay 2 with 5 to 8 or 1 to 8. The re-arm time is a time in seconds before the MIC
returns to its current position and returns the relay to its prior state. The options for this are
1, 5, 10 or 60 seconds. To send the settings to the MIC, select the desired options and then
click Set Relays.
5.6 Privacy Settings
Menu Path: Settings > Privacy
This section deals with the most common controls of the privacy card, creating and clearing
masks, and setting up mask colors, etc. These settings require the optional Privacy Card to be
fitted into the head of the MIC. Privacy is not available on any of the thermal MICs.
Mask / Clear Screen
These functions will add or remove a privacy mask the size of the entire current view. Moving
the MIC in Pan or Tilt should then indicate the zone clearly. This would most commonly be
used in conjunction with zoom where a window can be made full frame and then the whole
thing masked as opposed to the Mask / Clear Pixel method which may take significantly
longer.
Mask / Clear Pixel
This is a more accurate way of creating privacy masks one pixel at a time. The Pixel is created
at the center of the image, or where the crosshair points if it is visible.
Masks On / Off
This is an override setting to turn masks completely On or Off. This will not clear individual
masks settings; when Off is sent, they will disappear and then re-appear in the same positions
went On is sent.
Crosshair On / Off
Select On to display a crosshair in the middle of the video display. Use this crosshair to set
individual mask pixels with the appropriate command from below.
Show / Clear Style
This setting provides a preview of the current mask style. For the Privacy 3 units, this will only
work if the Crosshair is turned On, indicating the current style in a small privacy block to the
right of the crosshair center. With Privacy 4, a bar will appear on the top left of the video
indicating the available mask types, and a second bar below showing the currently-selected
style. Use the Set Mask Style to step through the available styles. Once the required style has
been selected, click Clear Mask Style (and Crosshair Off for Privacy 3) to return to the normal
state.
Set Crosshair
This will create a pixel sized mask as with the function above, and will also bring up the
crosshair. Click again to remove the crosshair or use Crosshair Off.
