Tripwire can be drawn on any surface without creating anymore extra expense, this helps the owner avoid the need for a costly security guard in some properties.


After configuration on a security camera that supports this tripwire function, when a subject passes through the tripwire, you can be alerted via email or push alert to your smart Phone, flashing light or siren. This can help keep you alerted of any issue immediately while the recording video simultaneously on your recorder.



There are some limitations using this function. Tripwire is not recommended to use in a highly populated area. Instead, it’s recommended for an area with minimal movement and activity.
