6.4.3 System-Alarm Input Setup
The Alarm Input Setup allows the administrator to define the behaviors for each Alarm Input at each Time Type. There are up to 16 Alarm Inputs connected to the system. For each Alarm Input and each Time Type, you may enable/disable and select its corresponding Alarm Action (Figure 1). For most applications, 16 Alarm Inputs are enough to correspond to 16 Alarm Actions and hence 16 (Focus) Cameras.
