Set up alarm inputs
The recorder can be configured to record when an alarm is triggered by an external alarm
device (for example, PIR detector, dry contacts…).
To set up external alarms:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Alarm & Event Setup > Alarm Input.
2. Select the alarm input number of a camera, which corresponds to the connector on the back
panel of the recorder, and enter the name of the input, if required.
3. Select the alarm input type, NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed). Default is NO.
4. Check the Enable Alarm Input box and click Actions to set up the rules for the cameras to
be triggered, their alarm schedules, method of alarm notification and PTZ linking function.
5. Select the cameras to be triggered when an external alarm is detected.
Check the Actions button. In the Actions window that appears, click the Trigger Channel
tab and then select the cameras to be triggered for recording when an alarm is detected.
Only analog cameras can be selected. Click Apply to save the settings.
6. Select the recording schedules for the external alarm.
