The Relay Object

If a video camera has a built-in or connected discrete output, a  Relay object is automatically displayed as the child object of the video camera. 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:

1. Select a Relay object in the objects tree.
2. Enable the device (1).
   
3. Enter the name of the relay (2).
4. Set the status to which the relay will be set when no alarm is present.
   
5. 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.
