Indication of camera status

Note

This section describes the default parameters of the color indication of the video surveillance window border. They can be changed during the system configuration - see Configuring Viewing tile frame color.

The colour of the video surveillance window border indicates the current camera status.

Green	Camera disarmed
Yellow	Camera armed
Red	Camera is armed, alarm event occurred on camera. OR Camera is disarmed, but one ore more auxiliary zones are configured as alarmed and alarm is detected on them – see also Indication of detection tool status.

The colour of the camera number indicator border in the surveillance window indicates the current status of the video recording from the camera.

Colour of the camera number border	Camera status
Green	No video recording, camera is disarmed
Yellow	No video recording, camera is armed
Red	Video recording

The combinations of the video surveillance window border colour and the colour of the camera number border are described in the following table.

Colour of the window border	Colour of the camera number border	Camera status
Yellow	Yellow	Camera is armed, no video recording is performed
Red	Red	Alarm event occurred on the camera or alarmed detection zone, video recording is started by an alarm or the recording, started by Operator's command before the event, goes on,
Green	Red	Camera is disarmed, but there is recording by Operator's command or post-alarm recording.
Yellow	Red	Camera is armed, recording by Operator's command or post-alarm recording is done.
Green	Green	Camera is disarmed, no video recording is performed
Red	Yellow	Alarm event occurred on camera or alarmed detection zone, but no video recording by alarm is done.

Note.

If the auxiliary camera detector zone has been armed or disarmed, the border around the video surveillance window retains its colour, but after an alarm event in the auxiliary zone the window border becomes red. So, there is no indication of auxiliary detector zone arming and disarming for the camera by the frame of the Video Surveillance Window. See also Indication of detection tool status

The icon of video absence appears under the icon of "video camera number" only when there is no video signal. It can be in two cases: video camera is not connected or there is camera restart.

Note.

The last video frame or blue screen (depending on the video capture card) is displayed in the Video surveillance window if there is no video signal.

The icon of selected disk absence appears over the icon of "video camera number" only when disk for archive saving is not selected.

When incorrect camera type is given, the icon of disconnect with the camera appears over the icon of "video camera number" and the frame of video surveillance window becomes black.
