Set up alarm outputs
You can connect the recorder to an alarm system, such as a siren or intrusion system, which is
then activated when an alarm is triggered. You can select how long the alarm signal remains
active as well as schedule when alarm outputs can be triggered.
“A” outputs are marked A for analog and are physical outputs of the recorder. “D” outputs are
marked as D for digital and are physical outputs on the IP cameras.
To set up an alarm output:
1. From the menu toolbar, click
Configuration
>
Remote Configuration
>
Alarm & Event
Setup
>
Alarm Output
.
2. Select the alarm output. Enter a name for it, if desired (the name cannot be copied).
3. Select a time out option between 5 seconds and 10 minutes, or select “Manual”.
The timeout setting lets you define how long an alarm signal remains active after the alarm
has ended. If you select
Manual
, the alarm signal remains active until it is acknowledged
(see “Manual trigger” on page 82).
4. Select the arming schedule for the alarm output.
