Specifying Input, Events and Output
In NetDVMS, your main entry point for configuration of input, event and output handling is the
Administrator window
:
•
By clicking the Administrator window's I/O Setup... button, you open the
I/O Setup window
, in
which you are able to specify each individual
input event
,
VMD event
and
output
.
•
By clicking the Administrator window's Event Buttons... button, you open the
Event Buttons
window
, in which you are able to specify event buttons for manually triggering events-controlled
activity.
•
By clicking the Administrator window's Generic Events... button, you open the
Generic Events
window
, in which you are able to specify generic events.
•
By clicking the Administrator window's I/O Control... button, you open the
I/O Control window
, in
which you are able to
associate specific events with specific output
. This way you can, for
example, specify that when motion is detected on a camera (typically specified as a VMD event) a
siren should automatically sound (output). If you want users to be able to manually activate
output when operating specific cameras, you specify this in the
Output Settings for [Device Name]
[Camera Name] window
.
Note: Before you specify use of external input and output units on a device, verify that sensor operation
is recognized by the device. Most devices are capable of showing this in their configuration interfaces, or
via CGI script commands. Also check the OnSSINetDVMS release notes to verify that input and output
controlled operations are supported for the device and firmware used.
Note: If you are using several NetDVMS servers in your surveillance solution setup, input and output on
a specific device should be defined on one of the servers only. Do not define the same input or output on
the same device on several servers. This applies even for dedicated I/O devices (see also
Using Dedicated
I/O Devices
).
