Setting up external alarms
The NVR can be configured to record when an alarm is triggered by an external alarm
device (for example, PIR detector, dry contacts, etc.). Using PTZ linking, it can trigger a
PTZ camera to call a preset or shadow tour if motion is detected.
To set up external alarms:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Alarm settings > Alarm Input.
2. Select the alarm input number of a TVN or IP camera and enter the name of the
input, if required.
3. Select the alarm input type, NO or NC.
4. Check the Enable Alarm Input Setting box to enable the alarm input function and
click Rule button to set up the rules for the cameras to be triggered, their alarm
schedules, method of alarm notification and PTZ function. The Settings pop-up
window appears.
5. Select the cameras to be triggered when an external alarm is detected.
In the Settings window, click Trigger Channel and select the cameras to be
triggered for recording when an alarm is detected. Click Apply to save the settings.
