6.3.2 I/O Settings
This function allows users to manage camera's digital input and out- put
po
rts right from the recorder. You can setup the recorder to re- ceive trig
fro
m a particular camera's input port and trigger a de- vice, such as an alarm
that is connected to the recorder or camera's output port. Cameras that do
not have 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
li
sted 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.
4. Select the recorder's input port if you would also like
input port for event trigger. And then select the trigger condition as well.
5. Next, select the recorder's output port and the trigger action.
6. Finally, define the trigger duration.
T
he recorder does not control camera's input or output ports in a way to let
y
ou pair recorder itself with a camera's input or output port for event receiving
o
r triggering.
T
he recorder only acts as a medium for pairing up input/output ports between
c
ameras and the recorder.
O
nly connected cameras will be displayed in the list.
S
ome cameras only allow one trigger source be configured at a time, e.g.: if
th
e camera has the motion detection function turned on, its digital input will
b
e disabled and vice versa. Under such circumstance, if you set to use
c
amera's digital input port as the event trigger source, you will not be able to
s
elect motion detection as the trigger source for this camera under "Event
C
onfigurations" >> "Event Trigger" setup page.
