How to Add a Motion-Triggered Output
Output (e.g. lights, sirens, etc.) connected to cameras or other devices can be triggered automatically when motion is
detected by a camera. The output does not necessarily have to be physically connected to the motion-detecting
camera.
To add a motion-triggered output, do the following:
Note:
The following describes
one
way of adding a motion-triggered output, namely through the
. Alternatively, motion-triggered output may be based on VMD events or—if a
device has its own motion detection capabilities—on input events. Once such VMD or input events have been added,
they can be tied to output through the
Note:
In the following, it is assumed that the required output unit has been connected to the output port on the
required camera or other device, but that it has not yet been defined on your NetDVR system. If you have already
defined the output on your system, begin at step 5.
1. In

External output connected to
field will show the name of the selected camera
or other device.
Now specify information in the following fields:
•
Output connected on:
Select the camera/device output port on which the output unit is connected.
Many cameras/devices only have a single output port; in that case simply select
Output 1
.
•
Keep output for:
Specify the amount of time for which the output should be active when triggered, in
either 1/10 seconds or seconds.
Note:
Some devices are only able to apply outputs for a relatively short time, for example max.
five seconds. Refer to the documentation for the device in question for exact information.
•
External output name:
Specify a name for the output. The name will appear on the button/list with
which users will be able to manually trigger the output. Note that output names must
not
contain the
following characters: < > & ' " \ / : * ? | [ ]
