iDMSS Plus - Door Unlocking button Digital Out/In

[yeswife 0]

Hello all,

 

So I managed to setup most of the audio and video with IPC-HDBW8331E IP Cam, all works well but within the iDMSS Plus app, theres an option for viewing "Door" and when I add the camera to this "Door" list, the audio works but the Unlocking/Locking function shows as "Unlock failed!"

 

Question is when I press this unlock button on the app, what does it trigger at the camera end ?

On the I/O Port of the camera there are Alarm Out, Alarm In, Alarm Com and GND, these ports are only for alarms and sensors to input into the camera.

 

any ideas ?

Hi. Are you looking at unlocking a door ??

You will need to build a door lock relay.

 

The door icon you have is for dahua door entry control

Just as I thought. The Door function for this is for another device altogether?

Yes the door app is for access control.........but will work also if your using dahua cameras...... You can use 3rd party locks.... Or just use a magnetic door contactor on any door and get alerts when door is opened

I am using dahua camera.. the question is on the camera end which cable or digital output relates to the unlocking function? If I can find this I could make something.
