7.4 Alarm
External alarms and motion sensors can be set. Connecting a sensor or other
device to the alarm input terminal notifies an alarm when the sensor detects a
trouble. For example, mounting a sensor on a door notifies an alarm each time the
door is opened. By setting the motion sensor to activate, an alarm is notified by
detecting a change in a screen.
One Alarm input1 terminal is indicated on external cable. You need to define some
parameters before u sing the alarm function.
