dorough 0 Posted October 11, 2013 I use an NVR to monitor an area which includes a parking lot. Got any good ideas as to what kind of alarms, strobes, sirens, etc. can I connect to this to ward off trespassers, and where would I shop for them? And would they receive their power from the NVR, or would they need separate power supply? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shockwave199 0 Posted October 11, 2013 How big is the area? I use a siren/strobe at home and have it set up to use it manually in case someone needs a wake up call outside the home. I show it in use in this vid. Skip around the video a bit to see it in action. They need a power supply other than the nvr/dvr. EYRGLlBj8Go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dorough 0 Posted October 11, 2013 THanks for the reply. I saw your video yesterday, commented & you replied about getting it. Know how I would go about getting something with just a bright strobe? This is for a small parking lot - 25 spaces or so - surrounded by homes. So I'd like to have a bright light without a loud siren that would disturb home owners.

shockwave199 0 Posted October 11, 2013 The siren has the option to just make it strobe without the siren. It's all how you wire it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dorough 0 Posted October 11, 2013 I just ordered one. Looks like this will give me some good options. Do you know the specs for the power supply? I know it's 12V DC, but what about amps? Thanks for your help! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shockwave199 0 Posted October 11, 2013 The max is typically 1A when running it through an nvr/dvr for alarm triggering. Over there where I mentioned to buy it- they have a nice write up on how to wire it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
