If the camera has a built-in or pluggable digital output, the Relay object is automatically displayed as a child of Channel in the object tree. The number of Relay objects for a video camera is equal to the number of discrete outputs for the camera.
To configure a Relay object, perform the following:
- Select a Relay object in the objects tree.
Enable the device (1).
Note
When a relay is enabled, the Channel parent object is automatically enabled.
When you disable all child objects, the Sensor and Relay parent object Channel are also disabled.
- Enter the name of the relay (2).
- Set the status to which the relay will be set when no alarm is present.
- Click the Apply button.
The relay will then be switched to its assigned work mode.
To check the functioning of the relay, click the Test button. If the relay is configured correctly, its status will briefly change.
If a relay is part of an IP server, the sensor settings allow choosing the video camera of the IP server it will be matched to. When you do this, the relay object will appear as the child object of the specified camera in the object tree.
