AI 1 to 16 (Alarm-In) You can use external devices to signal the DVR to react to events.
Mechanical or electrical switches can be wired to the AI (Alarm-In) and
GND (Ground) connectors. The threshold voltage is 4.3 V and should be
stable at least 0.5 seconds to be detected. See Section 8.7.1: Alarm-In
screen.
GND (Ground) Connect the ground side of the alarm input and/or alarm output to the
GND connector.
NOTE
All the connectors marked GND are common.

AO 1 to 16 (Alarm-Out) The DVR can activate external devices such as buzzers or lights. Connect
the device to the AO (Alarm-Out) and GND (Ground) connectors. AO is an
active low open collector output which sinks 5mA @ 12 V and 30 mA @
5 V. See Section 8.9.3: Alarm-Out screen.
ARI (Alarm Reset In)
Fig. 10 Alarm Reset Input connectors
An external signal to the Alarm Reset In can be used to reset both the Alarm Out
signal and the DVR’s internal buzzer. Mechanical or electrical switches can be
wired to the ARI (Alarm Reset In) and GND (Ground) connectors. The threshold
voltage is below 0.3V and should be stable at least 0.5 seconds to be detected.
Connect the wires to the ARI (Alarm Reset In) and GND (Ground) connectors.
