BNC connector of the same camera input. Make sure there is 75-Ohm termination at the end of the video line if the signal is looped through the DVMRe Triplex. Time base correction is performed during digital capture. As a result, cameras do not require synchronization.
Pin 23: External Alarm Silence and Acknowledge Input. Pin 12: Alarm Input 12. Pin 25: Alarm Output Relay #2 Common. Active alarm inputs vary by DVMRe model. 4 channel units (4CT) have 4 active alarm inputs. 10 channel units (10CT) have 10 active alarm inputs. Alarm Input An alarm condition can be activated by devices such as pressure pads, passive infrared detectors, door switches, or other similar devices.
Connect from pin 23 to either pin 18, 19, or 20 (ground pins). NOTE All specifications subject to change without notice. GE-Interlogix believes all specifications to be correct at time of printing, but no liability is assumed for omissions or errors. AUX Port The back panel of the unit is equipped with an Aux Port (DB-9 style connector).
Ethernet Port The cable connection configuration depends on your network configuration: For a DVMRe Triplex that connects directly to a Hub or Switch, use a straight through connection. For a DVMRe Triplex that connects directly to a PC, use a cross over connection.
