I am also running the latest version of IVMS-4200 (lite) on my iPhone
I have 5 cameras.
What I want is:
What I currently have setup is:
Another thing I am confused about - Alarm Input

What I want is:
- I want my system to record continuously (I have a 3TB hard drive).
- But I want also markers, so that I can easily review the (motion detected) events recorded
- I want my iPhone to list the the events so I can easily review them when away from home
What I currently have setup is:
- My system records continuously, which is perfect
- My system does not show event markers in the timeline, but there is a window on the right listing the events
- My iphone shows a notification message of the event
- However, in the Alarm section of the iPhone app, the events are not listed! The only way to see the events is to click on the notification message, which opens the app and the event is then listed in the Alarm section
Another thing I am confused about - Alarm Input
- My events are configured (schedule, trigger channel, trigger action, etc) on the "Camera alert" tab as well as the arming region.
- But there is also and 'Alarm Input' tab and this again has the schedule, trigger channel, trigger action, etc.
- Why would you use the 'Alarm Input' tab? And what is 'Normal Open' and 'Normal Closed'?
