If the camera has a built-in or pluggable digital input, the Input is displayed as a child of the Channel in the object tree. The number of Input objects for a video camera is equal to the number of discrete inputs for the camera.
To configure a Input object, perform the following:
- Select the Input object in the objects tree (1).
Enable the device (2).
Note
When a Input is enabled, the Channel parent object is automatically enabled.
When you disable all child objects, the Input and Output parent object Channel are also disabled.
- Enter the name of the Input (3).
- Set the status to which the Input will be set when no alarm is present.
- Click the Apply button.
The Input will then be switched to its assigned work mode.
The current status of the Input is displayed in the Input information group.
If a Input is part of an IP server, the Input settings allow choosing the video camera of the IP server it will be matched to. When you do this, the Input object will appear as the child object of the specified camera in the object tree.
