### ADetecting an alarm condition via alarm input terminal

Configure the input conditions of each alarm input terminal provided on the rear face of the camera.

Before you start the following procedure, connect an external alarm device to one of the alarm input terminals (“ALARM IN1” in this example).
For details, refer to the “Alarm Input/Output Terminal Connections” section.

If you set [CLOCK ADJUST] to “ALARM IN1” on the CLOCK SETTINGS screen, the ALARM IN1 terminal serves dedicatedly as a time adjustment terminal. In this case, the [SET VALUE] column of [ALARM IN1] shows “CLOCK IN” in, allowing you to select a value in [POLARITY] only.

With VCC-HD2300P/VCC-HD2300: if you set [DAY/NIGHT] to “COLOR” and [EXT ALARM] to “ALARM IN1” or “ALARM IN2” under [DAY/NIGHT SETTINGS] on the CAMERA SETTINGS screen, the corresponding terminal will serve as a Day/Night switching terminal. In this case, “DAY/NIGHT” is displayed in [SETTING ITEMS], allowing you to select only the item [POLARITY].

1In [ALARM IN1], select “ON”.
2In [POLARITY], select the signal polarity of the alarm input terminal.

NO (Normally Open): | The terminal is normally open and closes when an alarm signal is received.
NC (Normally Closed): | The terminal is normally closed and opens when an alarm signal is received.

3In [DURATION], select how long you want the alarm state to be retained when the terminal receives an alarm signal and click SET.

The terminal will not accept subsequent alarm signals until the set duration expires.

5SEC, 10SEC, 15SEC, 20SEC, 30SEC, 45SEC, 1MIN, 2MIN, 3MIN, 4MIN, 5MIN

CC (Retains the alarm state as long as the alarm signal persists.)

The alarm state will be retained for at least 5 seconds even if the alarm signal is instantaneous.

The configured duration value will be reset to the factory default value if you change any setting on the ALARM SETTINGS screen while an alarm state is retained.

###### To configure the ALARM IN2 terminal to detect an alarm condition, select “ON” in [ALARM IN2] and specify the input conditions for it in the same way as for the ALARM IN1 terminal.
