🧠 The Concept
Integrating CCTV with Inner Range allows you to trigger recording or pop-up video when a door is forced or held open. This is done either via Software (Network/ONVIF) or Physical Wiring where the camera's relay connects directly to an Inner Range input.
🛠️ Hands-on Steps
- Network Sync: Ensure the camera and the controller are on the same subnet.
- Physical Link: Wire the
COMandNOterminals of the Camera's alarm output to a Spare Input on your Access Module. - Software Trigger: In the Inception/Integriti web interface, create a "Video Trigger" that listens for the input state change.
- Testing: Manually trigger the camera's relay and verify the event appears in the system log.
