INPUT Alarm Control and Detection
The input optocoupler supports two ways to connect external unsupervised alarms to Arecont Vision
camera. Only one of the following two schemes should be used at any given time.
OPTION-1: UNSUPERVISED ALARM DETECTION
In this scheme the IN+ & IN- terminals can be used for external signaling devices, such as door
contacts or motion detectors. Both normally open and normally closed devices are supported as shown
in Figure 4:
