Setting up an IP camera on a GE Concord Express Alarm System

Recommended Posts

I'm in the process of installing this IP camera, the AVN80xz(http://www.avdigital.com.vn/IP-CAMERA/AVN80XZ.html) into the GE Concord Express Alarm system(http://www.myalarm.com/manuals_prog/GEITIConcordExpress.pdf). I am specifically trying to figure out which wire pins on the IP camera go into the proper Concord express terminals, so that an alarm can go off when the motion detection option is set on the camera. Has any one done this?

I don't know anything about those devices, but it should be Alarm Out on the camera to Alarm In on the alarm system. Look at pages 8-11 in that PDF.

 

I googled the manual for the camera. I can't read the language, (Thai?), but page 2 shows a diagram of the I/O block. Top pin and the 5th one down (Alarm Out and Ground (GND) ) look right. The Alarm system talks about a resistor on the line, so that may complicate things.

 

FWIW, camera base motion sensors are generally not reliable enough to drive an alarm system. Cloud shadows look like motion. A passive IR sensor is better - the wiring for an Optex model (good stuff) is included in the alarm system PDF.
