To use input pins with Arecont units, the DisableInputPins advanced setting must be deactivated for the Arecont extension.

Procedure

  2. Click the Extensions tab, and then click the Arecont extension.
  3. At the bottom of the Extensions tab, click Advanced settings.
  4. In the Advanced settings dialog box, click .
  5. In the Name column, type DisableInputPins.
  6. In the Value column, type 0.
  7. Click to add a new field.
  8. In the Name column, type InputPinsPolltime.
  9. In the Value column, type how many milliseconds the Archiver should wait in between sending requests to the camera for the input state.
  10. Click Close > Apply.

After you finish

If the unit is already added in Security Center, then restart the unit.
