Alarm Inputs:
Alarm inputs are devices or switches that activate when a door, window, cabinet etc. is opened or accessed. For example,
you might want to only have the camera record when someone opens a tool cabinet or when a door opens vs. recording when
motion occurs around those areas. There may be people moving by those areas frequently but you are only concerned about
when those areas are accessed. This saves hard drive space and makes it easier to find an event that was recorded to the
hard drive.
To configure alarm inputs for devices without their own voltage you
will use the +12V input supplied on the alarm block. See Alarm Inputs
Configuration diagram at the right.
Note: If Alarm Input Device has its own power supply make sure:
1. Voltage rating is between 6V and 12V. Do not use the +12V
connection on the Alarm Block.
2. Ground must be connected to GND in Alarm Block for device to
operate properly
When an alarm is triggered, in the Live View Screen you will see a
red
【 I】 in the Channel with an alarm input warning. You may also
see a 【 R】 if you set up the channel to record when an alarm is
triggered.
Alarm Ouput:
Alarm output is used to activate an external device such as a
horn or light after an alarm is triggered. To do this the DVR uses a
dry contact normally open relay. This DVR has two sets of alarm
outputs: COM1/NO1 and COM2/NO2. To configure alarm outputs,
connect the external device to the NO (Normally Open) and COM
(Common) connections on the alarm block as required by the device. See
table for Alarm Block Voltage. The maximum contact rating is 3A 24VDC. Note:
ALARM MANAGE settings work the same on both outputs. Alarm inputs 1 and
2 activate alarm output COM1/NO1. Alarm inputs 3 and 4 activate alarm output
COM2/NO2.
E-mail Setup:
The system can send an e-mail notification with a JPEG snapshot for triggered

E-mail Tip
Depending upon your settings, the system can generate a lot
of e-mail alerts. For that reason, we recommend setting up a
dedicated e-mail address specifically for the Security System
alert notices. Also to better manage your alerts, you will want
the alert e-mails to go to a different account than the one sending them.
