are connected to the CONTROL terminal (pins 1 – 4), they will
send alarm triggers automatically. On the monitor screen, the
alarm display will identify the camera corresponding to the alarm
trigger.

(in 4 divisions split screen)

will be displayed on monitor 1, EA (External Alarm) will
flash at the left of the camera number.
