Alarm I/O Ports Window

Chapter 3 Configuring and Managing the IP Camera

Applications Windows

The Alarm I/O Ports window allows you to configure various options for the two input and two output ports on the IP camera. A state change of an input ports triggers a camera to take configured actions. Output ports send relays that can control external devices, such as alarms or door switches.

To display the Alarm I/O Ports window, access the configuration windows as described in the “Accessing the IP Camera Windows” section on page 2-6, click Applications, then click I/O Ports.

If you change any options in the Alarm I/O Ports window, you must click Save to save the changes. To discard the changes, click Cancel before clicking Save. These buttons appear at the bottom of the window. You may need to scroll down to see them.

Table 3-19describes the options in the Alarm I/O Ports window.

Table 3-19 Alarm I/O Ports Window Options

Option	Description

Alarm Input Settings

Current Status	Display only. For each input port on the IP camera, displays its current state
	(high or low).

Trigger Events When	For each input port on the IP camera, Input 1 and Input 2, choose the state
	(high or low) that triggers designated camera actions. When an IP port
	changes to this state, the camera determines that an event has occurred and
	takes actions as configured in the Trigger Event area in the Event Window.

Alarm Output Settings

Current Status	Display only. For each output port on the IP camera, displays its current state
	(high or low).

Power On State	For each output port on the IP camera, Output 1 and Output 2, choose the
	state (low or high) that the port is set to when the IP camera powers on or is
	reset.
	The port changes to this state when you click Save.
	The default setting is High.

Event Action	For each output port on the IP camera, Output 1 and Output 2, choose the
	state that the port changes to when an event occurs.
	If you choose None, the port does not change states.

Manual Control Settings

Definition Mappings

For each output port on the IP camera, Output 1 and Output 2, choose the state that the designated port changes to when you click the On or Off button in the Home window:

•ON maps to High—Changes the state of the port to high when you click the On button, and changes the state of the port to low when you click the Off button.

•ON maps to Low—Changes the state of the port to low when you click the On button, and changes the state of the port to high when you click the Off button.

For related information, see the descriptions of the On and Off button in Table 4-1 on page 4-3.

CIVS-IPC-2500, 2500 Series specifications

The Cisco Systems 2500 Series routers are a series of versatile, feature-rich networking devices designed to address the needs of various enterprises and small to medium-sized businesses. Released in the early 1990s, the 2500 Series quickly became a backbone solution for organizations seeking reliable and efficient networking capabilities.

One of the defining characteristics of the Cisco 2500 Series is its modular architecture, which allows businesses to customize their routers based on specific networking needs. This modularity accommodates various interface cards, enabling the integration of different protocols and connection types, including serial, Ethernet, and WAN interfaces. As a result, organizations can tailor their routers to support diverse applications while ensuring optimal performance.

The Cisco 2500 Series supports several advanced routing protocols, including RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, and BGP. This support provides flexibility for network design and ensures that users can implement scalable solutions as their business grows. Moreover, the routers come equipped with robust security features, including access control lists (ACLs) and support for VPNs, making them suitable for organizations that require a secure network environment.

A notable feature of the Cisco 2500 Series is its support for Quality of Service (QoS). This functionality allows organizations to prioritize certain types of traffic, ensuring that critical applications, such as VoIP or video conferencing, receive the necessary bandwidth and minimal latency. This is particularly beneficial for businesses that rely on real-time communications and need to maintain high levels of service quality.

Additionally, the implementation of Cisco’s internetworking technologies, such as IP and frame relay, enhances the overall performance and versatility of the 2500 Series routers. These technologies enable efficient data transmission and improve network reliability, which is essential for organizations with complex networking requirements.

In summary, the Cisco Systems 2500 Series routers are known for their modular design, support for multiple routing protocols, robust security features, and advanced QoS capabilities. Their ability to adapt to different networking environments makes them an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their connectivity and streamline their operations. Even decades after their introduction, the 2500 Series remains a relevant player in the networking market, demonstrating Cisco's commitment to providing effective solutions for diverse industries.
