For this guide we have used a Safire SF-HTVR8108A-HEVC recorder and an IP camera with alarm input.
To activate an alarm input of a recorder remotely from a wireless IP camera is very simple, to do this first access the recorder and go to the menu Camera Management.
1 - CONFIGURATION
2 - SYSTEMS
3 - CAMERA MANAGEMENT
4 - IP CAMERA
5 - ADD
Once the IP camera is added, we proceed to the configuration in the recorder. To be sure that the connection is stable and that everything works, we check that the STATUS of the camera is ONLINE.
In the recorder we will access the following menu:
1 - CONFIGURATION
2 - EVENT
3 - BASIC EVENT
4 - ALARM INPUT
The next step is to set the alarm input:
1 - Alarm input number
2 - Alarm type: We can choose between NO and NC
At this point we already have the Alarm input of our IP camera linked directly to an alarm input of the Recorder.
In LINK METHOD we can choose what to do when the alarm input is activated, such as activating an alarm output of the recorder, moving a PTZ or generating an audible warning on the recorder.
In this way, we have connected the alarm input of an IP camera to an alarm input of the recorder and saved ourselves the wiring.
