CONFIGURE THE CAMERA MODEL TAB
Figure 46. Camera Model Tab
Select the camera model and protocol from the drop-down box. Refer to the appropriate camera installation/operation manual for the
recommended protocol.
CONFIGURE THE AUXILIARIES TAB
Figure 47. Auxiliaries Tab
The Auxiliaries tab allows you to give the camera’s auxiliaries meaningful names. By default, auxiliaries are named Auxiliaryi, where i is the
auxiliary’s number.
Auxiliary names appear in the VMX300(-E) client, where auxiliaries are controlled, and also appear in scripts, where they are used to refer to the
auxiliary. When you rename an auxiliary, the write property for that auxiliary is changed to the name you have specified.
Example: you might rename an auxiliary that controls a camera’s wiper to Wiper, then use it in a script as follows: SET Camera1.
Wiper = On FOR 3.
To rename an auxiliary, position the cursor in the box for the auxiliary you want to rename and edit the name as desired. No two auxiliary names
can be the same for a particular camera, but the same auxiliary name can be used for different cameras. Auxiliary names can be a maximum of
50 characters and can include any letter, digit, or special character, with the exception of single and double quotation marks. Auxiliary names are
not case sensitive.
Refer to the appropriate camera installation/operation manual for information on connecting auxiliaries.
NOTE: Changing the name of an auxiliary that is referred to in a script introduces an error into the script. Refer to the Scripts and
Expressions section for more information.
