HSD820 cameras provide two digital alarm inputs and two digital alarm outputs to be used
with alarms and their specified trigger actions. For information about the alarm pin definition
and connecting alarm devices, see the HSD820 Installation Manual.
On the Application page, administrators can set the active state of the digital inputs and
outputs (I/O), enabling the camera to trigger an alarm when the state of the alarm connectors
changes.
