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

Note

Before you specify use of external output units on a device, verify that the device itself can control the device attached to the output. Most devices can show this in their configuration interfaces, or via Common Gateway Interface (CGI) script commands.

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 that are part of a camera do not require separate licenses but independent output devices are considered separate devices and therefore require a separate license. You can use as many output devices as required on your system.

You can configure output devices on these tabs:

  • Info tab

  • Settings tab
