implementation of information privacy. The data is deleted accordingly, should the value
be lower than the previous one.

Label for the digital input that is used for the recording control of the system. The labels
can be changed in the tab „GPIO settings“.

Please follow the installation instructions, for connecting the trigger, carefully.
Action

start/stop of ring and/or alarm mode). The recordings can be centrally started and stopped
for all active cameras. Cameras that are not labelled as active are principally not
recorded from.
