from “on to off” (normally closed) when an event occurs. Consult the device’s manual to
determine its normal state.
Note:
This field is equivalent to the "Polarity" field for sensors.
Attach Cameras
Select the cameras to which the device should be linked, if desired. Selecting a camera
has the following effects:
You will be able to configure e-mail notifications of events that were
triggered by this device to include images.
If you activate AVV for the device, video of events from each of the
selected cameras is uploaded to the AVV server.
If you activate FTP for the device, snapshots of events from each of
the selected cameras are uploaded to the FTP server.
Note:
If the camera is configured to record by event, attaching it to a device
here does not automatically mean that the device is a trigger that activates
recording. The device must be selected as one of the recorder triggers in the
camera configuration for this to occur. If it is not selected as a trigger, the Video
Gateway may not record the event, and therefore it will not be possible to upload
it to the AVV server. For information about defining recorder triggers, see
Events from the device will appear in the client interface under the
selected camera as well as under the device. This makes it possible to
play back video of the event by dragging and dropping it into a
camera pane in SVMultiClient.

Two e-mail notifications are sent – one when the event is first
detected, and the other when uploading of the video to the AVV server is
completed. Thus, the video clip may not be available yet when you receive
the first e-mail notification.

This feature only works if the device is attached to a camera and
recording (either event-triggered or continuous) is activated for the camera

This option only appears if AVV is activated for the Video Gateway
