Alarm Inputs:

Alarm inputs are devices or switches that activate when a door, window, cabinet etc. is opened or accessed. For example, you might want to only have the camera record when someone opens a tool cabinet or when a door opens vs. recording when motion occurs around those areas. There may be people moving by those areas frequently but you are only concerned about when those areas are accessed. This saves hard drive space and makes it easier to find an event that was recorded to the hard drive.

To configure alarm inputs for devices without their own voltage you will use the +12V input supplied on the alarm block. See Alarm Inputs Configuration diagram at the right.

Note: If Alarm Input Device has its own power supply make sure:

1.Voltage rating is between 6V and 12V. Do not use the +12V connection on the Alarm Block.

2.Ground must be connected to GND in Alarm Block for device to operate properly

When an alarm is triggered, in the Live View Screen you will see a red【I】in the Channel with an alarm input warning. You may also see a【R】if you set up the channel to record when an alarm is triggered.

Alarm Ouput: Alarm output is used to activate an external device such as a

horn or light after an alarm is triggered. To do this the DVR uses a dry contact normally open relay. This DVR has two sets of alarm outputs: COM1/NO1 and COM2/NO2. To configure alarm outputs, connect the external device to the NO (Normally Open) and COM (Common) connections on the alarm block as required by the device. See

table for Alarm Block Voltage. The maximum contact rating is 3A 24VDC. Note: ALARM MANAGE settings work the same on both outputs. Alarm inputs 1 and

2 activate alarm output COM1/NO1. Alarm inputs 3 and 4 activate alarm output COM2/NO2.

E-mail Tip

Depending upon your settings, the system can generate a lot of e-mail alerts. For that reason, we recommend setting up a dedicated e-mail address specifically for the Security System alert notices. Also to better manage your alerts, you will want

the alert e-mails to go to a different account than the one sending them.
