External Trigger Inputs
The unit has three (3) auxiliary trigger inputs located on the PD-1833 GPS / Event / Triggers cable at the
rear of the unit. Each trigger input can be used in a variety of ways. The trigger inputs are used to trigger
alarm recordings, to display a four-character word on the recording, to generate an alert email, to trigger
an audible alarm, or a combination of all events.
How Trigger Inputs Work:
The standard setting for the trigger inputs is such that when a 12V signal is sent to a trigger wire, an
alarm recording will be triggered to start, and a corresponding four-character acronym will display on the
screen.
Example: When Trigger 1 receives 12V, “T1” will display on the video by default.
When the 12V signal is removed, the four-character word will no longer display on-screen and the DVR
will continue the alarm recording for a preset amount of time (Post-Event Recording).
Configurable Trigger Input Settings:
 The three (3) trigger inputs can be set independently to receive a high-level signal (1V to 24V DC)
or a low-level signal (GROUND).
 The three (3) trigger inputs can be set independently to display any four-character phrase;
characters include capital letters A-Z and numbers 0-9. Examples: “PTO”, “DOOR”, “OHL3”,
“BRK4”, “DR11.”
 The three (3) trigger inputs can be set independently to turn alarm recording ON or OFF by
camera.
 The Alarm recording can be configured to have Pre-Event Recording of 0-60 seconds. Pre-Event
Record Time is a segment of video prior to the activation of the trigger that will be added to the
beginning of the alarm recording.
 The Alarm recording can be set to perform a Post-Event Recording of 0-180 seconds. Post-Event
Record Time is the time that the DVR will continue an alarm recording after a trigger signal has
been removed.
Connecting Trigger Inputs:
To connect each trigger input, determine the trigger signal type: 12-24V Signal, the level will be set to
“HIGH” (Default), Ground (-) signal will require the level to be set to “LOW” for the trigger.
After your trigger source has been located, run a wire from the source to the desired trigger input on the
GPS/Event/Trigger Cable.
