12. ALARM CONNECTION INSTRUCTION
Description of the types of detectors

[NO Normally Open]In the case of NO, the detector contacts are open all the time. When motion is detected, the contacts close (close). This triggers an alarm.

[NC Normally Closed]In the case of NC, the detector contacts are closed all the time. When motion is detected, the contacts open (open). This triggers an alarm. [Off]If an external detector is not used, set the type to "Off". When there is a short circuit between
ALARM and GND on CAM1 and CAM2, an alarm will sound, causing a sound signal from the monitor and the image from
the violated zone (Cam1 or Cam2) will be activated. The alarm time is 120s. To turn off the
alarm and return to standby mode, press

In models with an SD card, video or photo recording (depending on the selected setting) will be recorded when the alarm is triggered. The video recording time is 120s.

Connection way:
The monitor enables alarm connection for two types of NO and NC contacts. For two camera detectors, the contact type can be set independently (one NO and the other NC. The type should be set in the monitor depending on the detector type) Motion detectors require their own power supply. If the detector is supplied with the same voltage as the camera, then the power supply from the camera can be used. NO contact type means that when GND and ALARM are closed, the alarm will be triggered. NC
contact type means that when GND and ALARM is disconnected, the alarm will be triggered.
