ALARMS SETUP
The DVR5100 provides one alarm input for each camera. The alarm inputs can be configured separately. Alarms are not displayed in the Alarm
Received pop-up window until the specified alarm input is configured. To monitor and respond to alarms, you must be assigned a role that
includes access to the service.
The DVR5100 offers 16 alarm inputs for external signaling devices, such as door contacts or motion detectors. Each alarm input can be normally
open or normally closed; supervised or unsupervised (refer to Figure 56).
Once configured, an alarm input can invoke many different activities, including triggering a relay device, sending an alert to a security office,
changing the video recording settings, and storing pre-alarm video to the DVR5100. You can connect switches or contacts directly to the unit
without a separate power supply. Refer to Table Z on page 74 for more information on alarm settings and defaults.
