WebCCTV User Manual 52
Version 4.9 Series
3.3.2 Alarms
The Alarms chapter covers the handling and configuration of incoming alarms, alarm
reactions and how to configure the actions linked to these incoming alarm events.
Input alarms can be generated through a physical alarm-input concentrator (screw-block to
attach physical wires) attached on the back of the WebCCTV machine (together with a Picolo
card), or through a PMD I/O Device (screw-block to attach physical wires) attached to the
WebCCTV NVR via a USB cable.
The WebCCTV Alarm Component supports the OPC protocol; hence you are able to connect
any OPC A&E compliant alarm server and OPC A&E compliant client as well to the
WebCCTV Alarm Component. The origin of an alarm input can be an external infrared
sensor, a reed contact, etc.
By default you get the alarms menu when clicking Alarms in the Settings menu. This menu
allows you to Add PMD I/O Device, Add Alarm Device and access the Alarms
Configuration Wizard by clicking Edit or Edit Device.
This chapter covers the following topics:
 Picolo I/O Proxy Device (Adding and Configuring)
 PMD I/O Device (Adding and Configuring)
 Generic Alarm Driver
