Output (Devices node)

Output can be triggered manually from the Management Client and XProtect Smart Client.

Output devices are added automatically when you add hardware to the system. They are by default disabled, so you must enable them before use, either as part of the Add Hardware wizard or afterwards. Output devices do not require separate licenses. You can use as many output devices as required on your system.

You can configure output devices on these tabs:
