SOURCES
Figure 10. New Event Source Page
An event is a preprogrammed encoder function that is automatically activated by an event source. The encoder supports the following types of
event sources:
Alarm Source: The encoder supports one alarm source. The sources are the encoder inputs for external signaling devices, such as door contacts
or motion detectors.
System Source: A system source is activated when the encoder restarts.
Timer Source: A timer source is a user-defined event. The user can program the timer to activate an event after a specified amount of time.
For example, the timer can be activated every 60 seconds to save an image to an SD card.
