I / O Settings - Planet NVR-820 User Manual

9.2 I / O Settings

This function allows users to manage camera's digital input and output ports right from the
recorder. You can set up the recorder to receive triggers from a particular camera's input port
and trigger a device, such as an alarm that is connected to the recorder or camera's output
port. Cameras that do not have a built-in digital input/output port can also be configured to pair
with the recorder's DI/DO ports.
1. For cameras that come with physical digital input ports, their ports will be listed in the far
left drop-down menu.
2. Pick the desired channel for I/O mapping, and then select the camera's input port from the
drop-down menu.
3. Select the trigger condition from the "Condition" drop-down menu.
*The recorder does not control camera's input or output ports in a way to let you
pair recorder itself with a camera's input or output port for event receiving or
triggering.
*The recorder only acts as a medium for pairing up input/output ports between
cameras and the recorder.
*Only connected cameras will be displayed in the list.
*Some cameras only allow one trigger source to be configured at a time, e.g.,
If the camera has the motion detection function turned on, its digital input will be
disabled and vice versa. Under such circumstance, if you set to use camera's
digital input port as the event trigger source, you will not be able to select motion
detection as the trigger source for this camera under "Event Configurations" >>
"Event Trigger" setup page.
