vitaminn 0 Posted October 30, 2013 Hello, I have two PTZ IP camera's that have alarm input outputs. My understanding is that certain "triggers" will set off an "alarm". I'm looking for creative triggers and alarm ideas ... what my options maybe. I've heard of strobe lights and sirens as "alarms", anything else? Any creative triggers? Thanks.

peter4sks 0 Posted October 30, 2013 Trigger your camera to look in different directions when your alarms are triggered (by sensors or remote switching) You can use your outputs to open gates, Turn on lights, Arm/disarm alarms.. Possibilities are endless really. You could hook up a sub machine gun on a rotating motor that would kill anyone that walked on your lawn!!

RelaxIN 0 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) My personal one that I use for a wherehouse... is a single strobe (pulse) light and a single chirp audible sound. I mount them "near" the motion detect camera's that are scheduled for off-hours monitoring. When motion is detected, the audible chirp will sound (once) followed by the single light pulse. I dont care who you are... unless your deaf, your natural reaction to ANY sound is to look towards it to see what the sound was...with the exception of an explosion, I guess) The pulse of light is designed to have them look in that direction (most of the time, upward to where the cameras are mounted), thus capturing a clean shot of your pretty face for video...and hopefully a mugshot later. Just my .02 cents... Edited October 30, 2013 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't need a lot and so I was looking for peoples creative installs...just to get some ideas.

Dig it! I was thinking along similar lines (strobe and chirp). Nicely done RelaxIN. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
