power up and start recording when Alarm 1 is
triggered. The system takes about one minute to
power up and start recording, depending on
environment conditions.

• In “Alarm Duration” select one minute or
greater.

connection (2 pin) so that pin 1 (red wire) is
toggled to a 12V to 24V source to trigger
power.
• The black wire of the alarm harness can be
connected to Ground, or removed.
IMPORTANT: If you are using the alarm
button and cable, and wish to use the Wake
feature, the alarm button cable must be rewired

wire just before it enters the socket.
