“Understanding
Alarm Interfaces: A Fusion of Input and Output”
Episode 34- What are Alarm Interfaces in Camera Systems
Introduction
What
is the role of an alarm interface in surveillance cameras?
Alarm interfaces in cameras create a symbiotic relationship
between the visual and the
physical. They consist of both alarm inputs and outputs, providing a outlet for
external devices to communicate with the camera and vice versa.
For
instance, a motion sensor can be connected to the alarm input. When
triggered, this input can activate the camera's alarm output, turning on lights
or sounding a siren as a response.
