Dvr With Set Input

[topgunn]

Can anyone recommend or know of a dvr that has a relay to accept a set signal from an alarm which will then trigger motion to an email address when set?

How would a relay trigger a motion alarm? Are you not simply trying to get an email every time an alarm is set or unset?

[topgunn]

Motion to send an email simple. Want only when the intruder alarm is set.

Soo basically, an output to trigger an input on the dvr to know its set.

I have only come across this on an adpro but expensive and ott. After your standard average 8ch dvr with a set input.

How much you prepared to spend on a DVR that gets you this feature?

[topgunn]

Well not after anything major, was hoping for an average dvr with this feature without going hi spec.

I was more looking for a figure in pounds shillings and pence? Average DVR isn't a currency I know. In my world an average 8 way DVR would be around £850 which might not be the same average you are looking to spend, hence the question.

500-600 plus vat

That rules out UTCs offering. I have a cheaper DVR connected up and I'm sure you can use the input as an arm/disarm as we looked at it for cheaper CCTV monitoring. Just let me check before I commit and good news is cost wise it's 1/2 your budgeted price

If you have a couple you know of that would be good to know, even if it is over £600

Can be done with 2 relays, if the DVR has alarm inputs and outputs
