Alarm Inputs:
Alarm inputs are switches that activate when a
door, window, cabinet etc. is opened or accessed.
For example, you might want to only have the
camera record when someone opens a tool cabinet
or when a door opens vs. recording when motion
occurs around those areas. There may be people
moving by those areas frequently but you are only
concerned about when those areas are accessed.
This saves storage space and makes it easier to
find an event that was recorded.
