TIP
311
It’s easy to add alarm inputs such
as PIRs, door contacts and break
beams to an alienDVR. Using
alarm inputs can greatly enhance
your security system.
Alarm inputs can be used to trigger
the DVR to record a specific channel.
This is a simple way to extend the
record time of your DVR as it will only
record small clips rather than all day.
An alarm trigger could also be
used to give a command to a PTZ
or VoiceOff unit. For example a PTZ
could be set to look at a certain area
such as a doorway. A VoiceOff unit
could be configured to welcome
customers or warn off intruders.
On the right is an example of how
you may wire the alarm inputs on an
alienDVR.
