How To - Add Alarm Inputs
It’s easy to add alarm inputs such as
PIRs, door contacts and break beams
to a Zip NVR. Using alarm inputs can
greatly enhance your security system.
Alarm inputs can be used to trigger
the NVR to record a specifi c channel.
This is a simple way to extend the
record time of your NVR as it will only
record small clips rather than all day.
An alarm trigger could also be used to
give a command to a PTZ or VoiceOff
unit. For example a PTZ could be
set to look at a certain area such as
a doorway. A VoiceOff unit could be
confi gured to welcome customers or
warn off intruders.
On the right is an example of how
you may wire the alarm inputs on an
Zip NVR.
