EXTERNAL ALARMS

When external inputs such as a door bell, an interphone, etc.,
are connected to the CONTROL terminal (pins 1 – 8), they will
send alarm triggers automatically. On the monitor screen, the
alarm display will identify the camera corresponding to the alarm
trigger.

Example: If an alarm trigger is received for camera 4

(in quad screen)

1 The buzzer is heard and the camera 4 indicator flashes.

The alarm output changes from HI (5V) to LOW (0V).

2 The image from camera 4 and the camera number (04)
