I/O inputs and outputs

The I/O inputs / outputs are used in applications for, e.g. event triggering, time lapse
recording, alarm notification via email, picture storage to FTP locations.

Live View page or as an action to an Event Type. The output will show as active
(under Event Configuration | Port Status), if the alarm device is activated.
