Defining Alternate Outlines

Defining Alternate Outlines
Outlines define alternate sets of recording and event-handling settings. For example, for the MVG, you could define
one set of settings for times when the vehicle is in operation and another set for when it is parked; when the vehicle
is in operation, the motion and sensor notifications would be turned off, but when it is parked, they would be turned
on.
Outline configuration is an optional feature of the Video Gateway. If you do not define any outlines, all the event-
handling settings are automatically stored in the
Default
outline. You do not have to configure the outline settings at
all in this case. If you choose to use the Outline feature, you can define up to five additional outlines.
When multiple outlines have been defined, the running outline – the outline whose settings are currently being used
by the system – can be switched in one of three ways:
Manually:
By selecting the desired outline in the configuration utility, as described below
Sensor:
In response to sensor events on Sensor 1 (toggling of a switch connected to
In1
)
Schedule:
According to a predefined schedule
The outline-switching alternatives are mutually exclusive; only one of the three switching methods can be active at
any given time. The active outline-switching method is selected in the
General Systems Settings
screen (see
page 23). For information about using Sensor 1 to trigger outline switching, see
Configuring Sensor and Activator
Settings, page 119. For information about setting up a schedule for outline switching, see
NOTE:
On CVG and CVG-M models, sensor-triggered outline switching should not be used if the sensor
connector (
In1
) is used to control the display on a connected CCTV monitor. For additional

, page 126, and refer to the unit’s installation guide.
The name of the outline that is currently running is displayed at the top of the screen.
