Equipment that Controls View Manager 96
When you use the TOUCH TRACKER, monitor, and VCR, you are actually
communicating with the device that controls the VM96 system. That device
is the Rack Unit.
The Rack Unit is the heart of the VM96 system; it acts as the communication
hub for the entire system. The Rack Unit is where all operator and
administrator programming and data are stored. This box also provides
video matrix switching and system control.
Other Equipment
You may see other types of equipment installed around your site. You might
not operate this equipment directly, but it does play as important a role in
running a VM96 system along with the Rack Unit and the T
OUCH TRACKER.
This equipment may include any or all of the following:
· The system’s cameras enable you to monitor activity throughout a
facility from a single location. You can see video from up to 96
cameras. The VM96 system is compatible with programmable and non-
programmable domes, PTZ (pan/tilt/zoom) cameras, and fixed cameras.
· The Input/Output (I/O) module is an optional device that provides an
additional 32 inputs and 16 relays to the VM96 system. Your system
can have up to nine I/O modules connected, adding a total of 288 inputs
(32 X 9) and 144 relays (16 X 9) to the system. Systems without the I/O
module are limited to the four inputs and four outputs provided on each
programmable dome. The I/O module also accepts alarm
communications from other computer-based systems such as fire alarm
or burglar systems. This makes it possible to provide a video response
to alarms occurring on other systems.
· Input devices are hardware components that provide an electrical signal
to indicate the state of a device. These devices sense certain conditions
or changes in conditions and send a signal to the programmable camera
or I/O module to which they are connected. For example, a motion
detector is an input device that senses movement. Other examples of
input devices include smoke detectors and twilight sensors.
