In the recorder, an "event" is defined as a phenomenon which
triggers a specific action (event action) in the recorder.
The recorder regards the reception of a terminal alarm, a com-
mand alarm, and a site alarm as an "event".
For example, when the recorder receives a site alarm issued by
a camera, the recorder regards it as an event occurrence.

events occur.
Terminal alarm: When a signal from an external alarm device
such as a door sensor is supplied to the alarm input termi-
nal (ALARM connector or ALARM/CONTROL connector at
the rear of the recorder), it will be regarded as a terminal
alarm.
