R/C cable operation
TheRICcableis 3.relay connectingcable, which allows recording of audio and video
to be triggered by an alarm such as the supplied reed switch This function saves
recording space as recording only begins after an event such as a door opening or
closing.
The RlC cable is connected to the
receiver and to a video recorder. When
the reed switch is triggered at the camera
location, ~ R/C cable then trigeer'S the
video recorder to begin re<:ording. (For
connecting the RJC cable to a video
recorder, see the recorder's user manual,)
Note: An external alarm (not supplied) can be used as required.
Switching audio output
The audio terminator forces audio fretn the microphone and alarm to the receiver
speaker. The volume control on the tecdver only affects the volume on the receiver
