Creating Macros
The ViconNet system enables you to create macros, which are sets of instructions that are made up of
user-defined commands that the system executes either automatically or manually in the specific defined
order. The commands in each macro give instructions to the system about which devices will perform
specific tasks, for how long and in what order. In addition, you can configure macros for each Kollector
independent of the other sites in the system, according to your requirements.
There are two types of macros:
• Regular macros: which are comprised of a series of instructions as described in the section Creating
Regular Macros, below.
• Matrix macros: which are comprised of a series of instructions for defining which cameras are to be
displayed on each of the four analog outputs. More details are provided in the section Creating Matrix
Macros, page 130.
For information about the scheduling of macros, refer to the Creating Schedules section, page 166.
Creating Regular Macros
Creating macros consists of configuring various settings for each command in a macro, such as:
• Cameras and microphones to record/display.
• Duration of each command in the macro.
• Recording location.
• Picture quality (resolution).
• Refresh (display) mode.
• Frames per second rate.
• Related devices.
• Sending alarms.
• Activating remote macros.
• Sending emails.
• Sending text messages.
NOTE: Matrix macros have limited configuration options; see section To create a matrix macro, page 130.
