10. Event
10.1 Event > Alarm Port
Alarm Input
Used for connecting external alarm devices and triggering images for specific alarm-
based events. The input is typically connected to a motion detector or any other external
security device, and images could be uploaded whenever the detector is activated.
Maximum 5VDC is allowed on the input.
Alarm Output
This could drive a maximum load of 50VDC or 35VAC at 110mA directly or heavier loads
by connecting additional relay circuitry. If the output is used with an external relay, a
diode must be connected in parallel with the load for protection against any voltage
transients.
Duration
This parameter sets the minimum period before the alarm reset. Another alarm will not
be triggered until this period has lapsed, even if the tampering conditions are otherwise
met. This could help to prevent false alarms for known conditions that affect the image.
Caution!
Connecting AC to the inputs/outputs will damage the unit.
