The Output object

The Output object is displayed as a child object of the Camera object in the object tree if a camera has a built-in or pluggable digital output. The number of Output objects for a camera corresponds to the number of pluggable digital outputs a camera has. If a device is defined as an IP server, an output is displayed as a child object of the Channel object in the object tree (see The Channel object).

To configure the Output object, do the following:

1. Go to the Devices tab.
2. Select the Output object in the object tree. If necessary, you can change the values of the parameters that are listed in the table:
   

   Parameter	Value	Description
   Other
   Enable	Yes	By default, the output is disabled. To enable it, select Yes
   	No
   Name	Output	If necessary, enter the output name
   Input/output ID	0 (non-editable field)	Input/output ID for the output on the controller
   Normal status	Open	From the drop-down list, select the status of the output in which it must be when there is no alarm
   	Closed
   Camera
   Camera	{Short name.Name}	From the drop-down list, select the camera with which you want to bind the output (see Camera). As a result, the output becomes a child of the selected camera Note If the output is a child of the Channel object, then: When you enable the output, the Channel parent object is automatically enabled. When you enable all Input and Output child objects, the Channel parent object is also enabled.

3. Click the Apply  button.

As a result, the output is switched to the specified operating mode.
To check the operation of the output, click the Test button. If the output is configured correctly, its status will briefly change.
