Configuring Alarms
Before setting up an alarm-controlled event, one or more alarm inputs must first be
configured.
The AXIS 2460 has four alarm inputs and one output relay. These are configured
individually and can be enabled or disabled. The mode of operation is either Generated
When Circuit is Open (Falling) or Generated When Circuit is Closed (Rising). Note that
this applies to the physical alarm devices connected to the Network DVR.
Configuring an Alarm Input
1. Enable the input. This must be done to allow events to use the input. If you have an
event that does not use a particular input, then this can be disabled for that particular
event, by setting the event to ignore the alarm input.
2. Provide a suitable name for the input, e.g. Fire alarm.
3. Check the device you are using to see if the alarm will be generated when the circuit is
open or closed. This setting does not determine if the alarm input is enabled or not, but
simply how it functions. Make the setting accordingly.
4. Click Save.
Output Relay Settings
When the output relay is enabled on this page it will then be available to all events, which
in turn can have the relay enabled or disabled, independently of each other. The settings
available are Enabled and Output Name, as described above for inputs.
Creating an Alarm-Controlled Event
Events that use alarms are configured in much the same way as other events. The alarms
can be used independently of time settings or in combination with them.
Follow the description below to create an alarm-controlled event:
1. Follow steps 1 to 7 as listed for a simple event, but in step 3, select the radio button for
When Alarm is Triggered or Alarm Triggered during Time Period. These options will
reveal the Time Period Settings and the Alarm Input Settings, respectively.
2. Make the time settings for the event (if used).
