3.5 Configuring the inputs and outputs (Digital I/O)
The digital inputs and outputs group contains all detectors and relays connected to the
system. These can originate from network cameras and video servers.
The ABUS HDVR systems are each equipped with twelve alarm contacts and four potential-
free relay outputs.
Virtual alarm detectors are integrated into the system for internal system monitoring. Using
these detectors, processes can be set up (e-mail, SMS etc.) and the system can send
notifications in the event of malfunctions (camera failure, drive failure etc.).
All of the available inputs and outputs are described in more detail below:
SimUnit detector:
SimUnit detectors are used to simulate external alarm detectors. These detectors are only
available after the SimUnit is switched on (see point 3.5.4 on page 108). The detectors
switched on here can then be used as normal alarm detectors in the activations.
MD detector (MD detector or IP MD detector):
“MD” stands for Motion Detection (activity detection). A separate detector exists for each
camera input (analogue or IP). When motion is detected on a camera image, the
corresponding detector triggers an alarm and a connected recording process or alarm dialling
is started.
Alarm detector (Detector or IP detector):
Alarm detectors can only be used when an alarm card is installed in the system (pre-installed
on ABUS HDVR) or when a network camera or video server is equipped with an interface for
detector inputs.
