If you are operating the camera for the first time, check the factory default alarm detection conditions on the ALARM SETTINGS screen. Change the default settings as desired.

For details, refer to the “ALARM SETTINGS” section.

### Alarm Detection

You can configure the camera to detect alarm conditions via the “alarm input terminals” or “built-in motion sensor”.

For how to configure the camera to detect alarm conditions via the alarm input terminals, refer to the “Alarm Input/Output Terminal Connections” section.

##### ADetecting an Alarm Condition via Alarm Input Terminal

Connecting an alarm switch, infrared sensor, or other external device to the ALARM IN1/2 terminal enables the camera to detect alarm conditions such as entry of an intruder.

Setting Item | Default Setting | Optional Setting
--- | --- | ---
ALARM IN1/2 (Alarm input terminal number) | OFF (Disables alarm detection.) | ON (Enables alarm detection.)
POLARITY (Signal polarity) | NO (Ex.: Detects an alarm when door is closed) | NC (Ex.: Detects an alarm when door is opened.)
DURATION (Alarm retention duration) | 5SEC (Ex.: Records alarm video for 5 sec.) | 10SEC to 5MIN, CC (Retains the alarm state as long as the alarm signal persists.)

##### BDetecting an Alarm Condition via Built-in Motion Sensor

The camera uses the built-in motion sensor to detect alarm conditions.

The motion sensor detects an alarm condition in two ways as follows.

Setting Item | Default Setting | Optional Setting
--- | --- | ---
MOTION (Use of built-in motion sensor) | OFF (Disables alarm detection.) | AMASKING BDETECT
DURATION (Alarm retention duration) | 5SEC (Ex.: Records alarm video for 5 sec.) | 10SEC to 5MIN, CC (Retains an alarm state as long as the motion alarm persists.)

ADisabling motion detection in masked areas

BDetecting motion in specific areas

In [MOTION], after selecting a motion sensor type, click DETAIL to configure the detection conditions on the detailed configuration screen.

### Alarm output

You can configure the camera to “automatically output alarm signals” or “remotely (manually) output alarm signals”.

##### AConfiguring Automatic Alarm Output

You can configure the camera to automatically output an alarm signal when either of its alarm input terminals receives an alarm signal.

Setting Item | Default Setting | Optional Setting
--- | --- | ---
ALARM OUT1/ 2 (Alarm output terminal number) | OFF (Disables alarm output.) | ON (Enables automatic alarm output.)
POLARITY (Signal polarity) | NO | NC
ALARM OUT TIME (Alarm output time) | 5SEC (Ex.: Beeps a warning for 5 sec.) | 10SEC to 5MIN
ALARM IN (Output condition) | ALARM IN1 (Triggers alarm output when ALARM IN1 terminal receives an alarm signal.) | ALARM IN2 (Triggers alarm output when ALARM IN2 terminal receives an alarm signal.)
MOTION (Output condition) | OFF (Disables alarm output using motion sensor.) | ON (Triggers alarm output using motion sensor.)

##### BConfiguring Remote Alarm Output

Use the Remote Alarm buttons () provided on the live screen to send alarm signals from the camera's alarm output terminals.

Setting Item | Default Setting | Optional Setting
--- | --- | ---
ALARM OUT1/ 2 (Alarm output terminal number) | OFF (Disables alarm output.) | REMOTE (Enables remote alarm output.)
POLARITY (Signal polarity) | NO | NC
ALARM OUT TIME (Alarm output time) | 5SEC (Ex.: Beeps a warning for 5 sec.) | 10SEC to 5MIN, CC (Stops alarm output when Remote Alarm button is clicked.)
