the Event Linking screen and configuring the desired action (see Event Linking).

Alarm Output Setup

The Alarm Output Setup screen is where you assign names and set the Normal State of the HDVR
output triggers. There is one (1) Relay Output and 8 TTL Alarm Outputs that correspond to the output
triggers on the back the HDVR (see Trigger Input). You can assign a new logical name and change the
Normal State of the 15 TTL Alarm Outputs from the default of Hi (5 VDC) to Lo (0 VDC). The Status is
NORMAL in either the Hi or Lo Normal State setting until an event from the Event Linking screen
activates an ALARM status.
Once you have made changes click on Apply.
You can verify the proper operation of the output state by observing the "Status" state, which toggles
back and forth between "Normal" and "Alarm". By default the "Normal State" is set to Hi (5 VDC).
Go to the Event Linking Setup Screen and create an event that links Video Motion to an Output Trigger,
for example, the Front Door Alarm.
