Alarm Config Settings

Alarms of various types (such as Motion, Tripwire, and more) can be setup and configured to respond in different ways when triggered.

Configure the alarm trigger/response on the same interface where the Alarm is setup using the Trigger menu:

Note: If the desired output/trigger is not listed on the menu, it is possible your product does not support it, please Confirm via the Specification Sheet for the device you are setting up.
