Connecting Motion / Alarm Device - Appendix #5
Motion detection and Alarm controls are enabled through the Menu system on the Observation
System. Additional motion sensor devices can be connected to the system (Motion Sensors,
Door/Window Sensors).
A motion detection or sensor unit can be used to send a signal to the Observation System to
begin camera viewing on the matching Video Channel (when enabled in the Menu, see page 45):
• Example: A Window sensor unit has been installed on Alarm Block port #4. When this sensor
is activated, the camera on DIN or BNC VIDEO port #4 will become active (if enabled in the
MENU on the Observation System)
Installing a Sensor
1. Connect the GROUND Cable to the GND port on the Alarm Block on the Observation System
2. Connect the SIGNAL Cable to a numbered port (1-8)
To start ALARM RECORDING on the System, refer to page 45 for menu configurations.
