Alarm and event setup

This chapter describes the alarm and event setup menu and provides more information
on the different types of alarms and connected responses. Information related to
camera images is typically referred to as an event: Motion detection, VCA events, Text
insertion. Alarms are all notifications related to either physical alarm inputs on recorders
and cameras or anything that does not work as expected: device errors, network
issues, and video loss.

Set up alarm inputs

The recorder can be configured to record when an alarm is triggered by an external
alarm device (for example, PIR detector, dry contacts...). A inputs are marked A for
analog and are physical inputs of the recorder. D inputs are marked as D for digital and
are physical inputs on the IP cameras.
To set up external alarms:
1. From the menu toolbar, click
2. Select the alarm input number of a camera, which corresponds to the connector on
the back panel of the recorder, and enter the name of the input, if required.
3. Select the alarm input type, NO (normally open) or NC (normally closed). Default is
NO.
