DVR's and attached cameras which have alarm event reporting enabled are not normally configured with Set/Unset schedules. For this reason Patriot includes a remote Arming/Disarming feature which is designed to work in both Dual Monitoring and stand-alone DVR monitoring scenarios.
In this scenario recommended practice is to configure Patriot to remotely arm/disarm your DVR automatically when the associated alarm panel is set/unset.
In this scenario, the recommended practice is to configure Remote Control buttons to manually set/unset the Patriot client and arm/disarm the remote DVR.
Patriot remote Arming/Disarming of the DVR is provided in the form of an Assignable Task Command.
Replace the number '5' in the following examples with the Task Number used to receive events from the DVR (Task no. of the Hikvision Task, Dahua Task, Dowshu Task, etc).
<TaskNo>5</TaskNo> <TypeSettings> <Action>Arm</Action> </TypeSettings>
Remote DVR Arming setup step 2: all of the Contact ID open events (401 shown) are configured to automatically disarm the associated HikVision DVR.
<TaskNo>5</TaskNo> <TypeSettings> <Action>Disarm</Action> </TypeSettings>
