IMPORTANT
In order for the EXT I/O terminals to detect alarm inputs when the terminal status is changed from Open to Close (On) or from Close to Open (Off), about 100 ms or more is needed. Because alarms cannot be detected for about 5 seconds after a detection is made, alarm inputs received within about 5 seconds after an alarm is detected are not detected.
Note
AUX is a camera terminal that allows users to operate (Open/Close) arbitrarily from the “Live” page. For example, an operator can remotely control lights in a place where the camera is installed by connecting the terminal to the light controller.
Refer to the Installation Guide for further information about input/output rating of each terminal.

[Alarm deactivation time]
Configure the duration that detections won't be made after an alarm is detected. For example, by using this function you can prevent E-mail from being sent too often when E-mail notifications are configured to be sent to a mobile terminal or tablet device when an alarm is detected.
5-600s
Default: 5s
Note
The duration that alarm detections are not made can be managed for each type of alarm. For example, even during the time when alarm detection for command alarm is not being performed, VMD alarms and SCD alarms will be detected.
