Chapter 13
Alarm and event setup
This chapter describes the alarm and event setup menu and provides more information on the
different types of alarms and connected responses. Alarms are all notifications related to either
physical alarm inputs on recorders and cameras or anything that does not work as expected:
device errors, network issues, and video loss.
Set up alarm inputs
You can configure the recorder to record when an alarm is triggered by an external alarm
device (for example, PIR detector, dry contacts…). “A” inputs are marked A for analog and are
physical inputs of the recorder. “D” inputs are marked as D for digital and are physical inputs on
the IP cameras.
To set up external alarms:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Configuration > Remote Configuration > Alarm & Event
Setup > Alarm Input.
