How are the NAPCO VIP-Gateway and VCAM-I IP modules triggered to send Video Events?
The NAPCO VIP-Gateway and VCAM-I IP both send compressed video clips to the NAPCO Video Alert server upon activation of the module’s trigger input(s). This trigger activation is accomplished by placing a momentary short across a normally open input on the module. The camera will then transmit a video clip approx. 30 seconds long to the server. Note that the trigger can be programmed to be always armed or armed by a daily schedule.
Suggested events for triggering:
Latchkey Kids – Program the control panels to trigger the camera upon system disarm by kid’s codes. The camera will capture video of the kids coming home, disarming system and locking the door behind them. The parents will then be emailed a video alaert notifying them that an event has occurred – all they have top do is click a link to view the video for the ultimate peace of mind
High security areas - place a contact on the door of a special storeroom, cash room, etc.. If the door is opened, video will be captured, sent to the server and archived, maintaining a video record of activity.
