steuk 0 Posted February 21, 2014 Hello all, On some NVR, (hikvision for me) I see there is 1 alarm input/output. Let's say my NVR in plugged into a "sound alarm" (I don't know if it's the right word, but I guess you understand me ). When will the sound alarm be launched? On motion detection of one cam, of all cams or something else ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted February 21, 2014 It will sound when you tell it to do so. You can configure an alarm output to trigger when there is movement on a given channel, when an alarm input triggers, activate it by hand from iVMS software, when there is an exception, etc...

steuk 0 Posted February 21, 2014 Thank you for the answer ! That sounds great, many ways to activate it. What interests me most, is to activate it by hand remotely. Two cases : I have a NVR, alarm in connected to my NVR. I get an alert on my mobile phone. I check it and it's not a bird but a thief. Oh my god ! Through my app (need to find which one, it's an other problem), can I activate the sound alarm ? I don't have a NVR, but 6 cams. One of them is connected to my sound alarm (let's say cam number 2). A thief is coming, an I receive an alert from cam number 5. Is there a way for me (through my mobile app) to tell cam number 2 to activate sound alarm ? Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help. 1 - What you are looking for is iVMS-4500 for Android or iPhone. 2 - You can, but you would need to have IP camaras with alarm outputs.

shockwave199 0 Posted February 21, 2014 It's easier to manually trigger a siren through a Dvr or nvr, I believe. If you're going to do it via a camera itself, it might be more clumsy to do it trying to camera hop to get to the camera the siren is hooked up to. I did a video on a Dvr and in it I cover siren triggering. The same would apply to a dahua nvr too. Maybe it will interest you. EYRGLlBj8Go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So if I buy a camera with alarm output, I can just plug a siren alarm, and through hik webui trigger manually my siren, right ??? @shockwave199: many thanks for this vid, it gives me good informations. Would you recommend some siren more than others ??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steuk 0 Posted February 24, 2014 Just a little question about manual triggers...: How do I do it through the webui ? (because I don't find it, and I'm running Hik v5.1 firmware) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Securame 0 Posted February 24, 2014 So if I buy a camera with alarm output, I can just plug a siren alarm, and through hik webui trigger manually my siren, right ??? No idea on how to do it from the WebGUI, I know how to do it from iVMS-4500, and I am sure it can also be done from iVMS-4200. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steuk 0 Posted February 24, 2014 iVMS-4500 is the software used by the nvr right (or the mobile app to reach nvr) ? In both cases, I guess I can't use it because I don't have NVR, no ? I'm gonna check if it's possible with surveillance station on my Synology DS-414... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
