How To Connect A Camera’s Alarm Inputs/Outputs
The pro motorised lens Zip IP cameras feature alarm in and out (IP-CAM530, 880 and 930).
The camera’s alarm inputs and outputs can be handled by the NVR in the same way as local alarms. The
camera’s alarm input can also be used to trigger local SD card recording in the camera itself. For more
information see the Zip IE browser manual (page 19).
