ALARM ARRAY

The DVR5100 Remote Client supports up to 16 alarm inputs to connect external signaling devices to the DVR5100, such as door contacts or

motion detectors. One programmable alarm input is provided for each camera (video) input. The 4-channel DVR supports four alarm inputs and

the 8-channel DVR supports eight alarm inputs. By default, the DVR5100 labels the group of external alarms as AlarmArray.

Once configured, an alarm input can initiate many different activities including triggering a relay device, sending an alert to a security office, and

storing pre-alarm video in the DVR5100.

The DVR5100 supports two alarm configuration modes:

•Supervised alarm mode: When an alarm is configured as a supervised alarm, the DVR5100 maintains a constant electrical current

through the alarm circuit (5.0 VDC, 10 kohms), including a 10-kohm resistor. If the resistance changes, due to an electrical short or a bypass,

the voltage fluctuates from its normal state and the unit triggers an alarm. These alarms cannot be defeated if they are cut or bypassed,

whether they are normally open or normally closed.

•Unsupervised alarm mode: When an alarm is configured as an unsupervised alarm, the DVR5100 triggers an alarm only when the normal

alarm state (normally open or normally closed) changes. By default, the DVR5100 is set to operate in the unsupervised alarm mode.

NOTE: To monitor and respond to alarms, you must be assigned a role that includes access to service. Diagnostic messages are always visible,

regardless of a user’s access to alarms.
