The web interface
Shock detector: Turn on to generate an alarm if the device is hit by an object or if it is tampered with.
Sensitivity level: Move the slider to adjust the sensitivity level at which the device should generate an alarm. A low value
means that the device only generates an alarm if the hit is powerful. A high value means that the device generates an alarm
even with mild tampering.

I/O ports
Use digital input to connect external devices that can toggle between an open and closed circuit, for example, PIR sensors, door
or window contacts, and glass break detectors.
Use digital output to connect external devices such as relays and LEDs. You can activate connected devices through the VAPIX®
Application Programming Interface or the web interface.
Port
Name: Edit the text to rename the port.
Direction: indicates that the port is an input port.
you can click the icons to change between input and output.
Normal state: Click
Current state: Shows the current state of the port. The input or output is activated when the current state is different from the
normal state. An input on the device has an open circuit when it's disconnected or when there is a voltage above 1 V DC.
Note
During restart, the output circuit is open. When the restart is complete, the circuit goes back to the normal position. If you
change any settings on this page, the output circuits go back to their normal positions regardless of any active triggers.
Supervised : Turn on to make it possible to detect and trigger actions if someone tampers with the connection to digital
I/O devices. In addition to detecting if an input is open or closed, you can also detect if someone has tampered with it (that is, cut
or shorted). To supervise the connection requires additional hardware (end-of-line resistors) in the external I/O loop.
Logs
